The overall objective of this line of research is to study the mechanisms that govern the repair capacity of certain tissues after injury or therapeutic implants through in situ and in vitro methods. Based on the same factors, the research line also aims to investigate how certain tissues respond to the exposure of physiological or pathological processes, as well as the cellular and tissue mechanisms involved in the response.
