Blood Cells - PaoloBellavite14

Blood Cells, Cellule del Sangue

This is the original and traditional strand of his studies, because since the time of the thesis is devoted to the study of blood phagocytic cells (neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages), focusing on the characterization of systems that generate oxygen free radicals, in normal and pathological conditions. Later, he had the opportunity to study the function and regulation of platelets and basophils.

Here are some of the most significant discoveries for each topic (the full list is in another page)

Si tratta del filone iniziale e tradizionale dei suoi studi, in quanto sin dal tempo della tesi di laurea si è dedicato allo studio delle cellule fagocitarie del sangue (Neutrofili, Monociti, Macrofagi), focalizzandosi sulla caratterizzazione dei sistemi che generano i radicali liberi dell’ossigeno, in condizioni normali e patologiche. Successivamente, ha  avuto modo di studiare la funzione e la regolazione delle piastrine e dei basofili. Qui sono riportate alcune scoperte significative per ciascun argomento (l'elenco completo si trova in altra pagina)
