Activation of pro-inflammatory signaling pathways play a key role in the progression of skeletal and cardiovascular disorders. These pathways initiate cell-type specific transcriptional alterations and exert various metabolic effects via cellular cross-talk. We are interested in investigating the contribution of immuno-regulatory transcriptional pathways in the pathology of muscle disorders. Our focus is to increase the understanding on cellular and metabolic interactome involved in cellular remodeling by identifying novel therapeutic targets.
