Abstract

We know that the bone development and regeneration is a complex event and orchestrated by paracrine mechanisms of intercellular signaling coupling angiogenesis and osteogenesis. These evidences were showed by the elegant work published by Prof. R. H. Adams of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine, recently published in Nature. In this context, this project aims to characterize exosomes released by primary endothelial cells, already acquired along the LONZA; it is very important to mention that prof. Maikel Peppelenbosh will guide us in the investigation of molecules carried by these exosomes, such as kinases and transcriptome by sequencing RNA. To note, this application is linked with a current financing project from FAPESP (JP: 2014/22689-3), where our objective is to map the repertoire of molecules secreted by osteoblasts and endothelial cells and identify their effects each other during bone remodeling.
