The Cardiac and Skeletal Myogenesis: Muscle Regeneration research group is engaged in analyzing the molecular processes that govern the formation of the skeletal and cardiac muscle and which are also involved in muscle regeneration processes. The group is developing new patents that can serve for generating drugs.
