Oral Functional Anatomy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An anatomy lab that uses microscopy to uncover how the salivary glands and oral tissues work.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how oral tissues work, through free-thinking research.
The Oral Functional Anatomy Lab studies normal function and the mechanisms of disease in oral tissues.
Mainly through animal experiments, the lab examines the shape and structure of tissues, with microscopy at the center of its work.
Current projects include salivary gland damage and repair, the effects of soft foods on oral tissues, and how sensations from the face and mouth are transmitted.
The lab's motto is "research driven by free thinking," and its range of research subjects and methods is a distinctive feature.
Key terms
- Salivary glands
- Organs that produce saliva and release it into the mouth. They are located below the ears, under the jaw, and elsewhere.
- Immunohistochemistry
- A method that uses antibodies as markers to stain tissue and visualize where a specific protein is located.
- Transmission electron microscope
- A microscope that passes an electron beam, instead of light, through a thin specimen to magnify even the fine structures inside cells.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab uncovers the mechanisms of physiological and pathological phenomena in oral tissues, mainly through animal experiments. Its work centers on morphological methods, combined with molecular biology techniques as needed.
