Research Interest and expertise in the field of nutraceuticals and functional food
I’m studying cellular and molecular aspects of Coeliac disease, an autoimmune enteropathy triggered and sustained by the ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible subjects. I’m exploring new cell-free therapeutic strategies, based on the immunomodulatory effects of extracellular vesicles obtained from bone marrow-derived mesenchimal stem cells (MSC-EVs). I’m studying the ability of MSC-EVs to inhibit gliadin-specific CD4+T cells activation and to promote the expansion of regulatory T cells
