“My name is Tran Hoang Bao Ngoc and I am from Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.
I have had the honor to, currently, study and research at the Department of Pathophysiology – Medical University of Lodz. I am under the guidance and supervision of Prf. Jacek Drobnik and Ms. Malgorzata Galdyszynska, M.Sc. Our main target is to explore the role of cardiac fibroblasts, their interaction with the Extracellular matrix (ECM) and how these phenomena can influence the pathological mechanism of cardiac fibrosis. To be more specific, recently we have taken a look into the activity of Connexin 43 as this gap junction has not only been linked to the cardiac fibrosis itself, but also its complications such as arrhythmia. As the result of our hard work, we can conclude that the ECM and α2β1 integrin exert regulatory effect on Connexin 43. We are very excited about our result and we are all eager to learn more about how this regulation is mediated. Additionally, we also have a small project which we observed the cardiac fibroblasts that we cultured in a non-conventional environment called hanging drops. We have recorded many key differences such as shape and ECM metabolism of these cells in comparison to the conventional one. This is very interesting to us and we are hoping that our finding may contribute to the development of a more advance culturing method for study of cardiac fibroblasts.”
