Dr. Gracia-Sancho will develop a project entitled "Capillarization of the liver sinusoidal endothelium: Orchestration by miRNAs" with the objective of describing the evolution of one of the most relevant cell types in the liver, throughout the progression of cirrhosis and aging. In collaboration with national and international research groups, the team of Dr. Gracia-Sancho will characterize the phenotype of the liver sinusoidal endothelial human cell, the key for the microcirculation in this organ, in normal, chronic liver disease and aging conditions. In addition, there will be developed new therapeutic strategies to prevent or improve liver endothelial dysfunction observed in the aforementioned diseases.
