We conduct innovative research covering all areas of modern medicine

“One of the many challenges of modern medicine are chronic diseases, the diagnosis and treatment of which are difficult, and the symptoms of which are very troublesome for patients. These include endometriosis, a gynecological disease that is one of the causes of infertility and severe pain in women. Among the many hypotheses regarding the mechanisms of the development of this disease there is autophagy, the phenomenon of ‘self-eating’ of cells, which is the focus of our project carried out at the Department and Section of Histology and Embryology of the Medical University of Warsaw,” – wrote Maja Owe-Larsson, a fourth-year medical student.
