Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Consequences of Cardiovascular Calcifications (MP3CV)
Research unit - UR 7517
Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for significant mortality.
Their cause is multifactorial: aging, lifestyle, diseases (diabetes, chronic kidney failure).
Among the aggravating factors, the presence of calcifications in the vessels and heart valves greatly increases the cardiovascular risk. The mechanisms behind these calcifications are not yet fully known and, to date, there are no effective therapies to stop or slow their development.
This Unit works to improve pathophysiology knowledge and therapeutic management of these calcifications.

Skills
The Unit’s research project is to identify:
1. Molecular mechanisms involved in calcification processes and associated factors/markers.
2. Hemodynamic and structural consequences of cardiovascular calcifications in animals and humans.
3. Therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat these calcifications.
This Unit uses conventional biochemistry and molecular biology techniques of research:
• Cell culture
• Western Blot
• Infrared, Immunohistochemistry
• Flow cytometry
• qRT-PCR
• Animal testing
