Laboratory for cellular physiology was established at Department of Physiology in 2008 by Drs. Jasna Marinović and Marko Ljubković. Research focus of the laboratory have been intracellular processes involved in ischemic cardiac disease as well as various modes of cardiac protection. Also, myocardial metabolic variations are being investigated in different pathological conditions (such as diabetes) or as part of a so called cardiac metabolic therapy.

The main topic of out research is evidence-based medicine research and professionalism in health. Research and publications are primarily on the themes of research integrity, clinical health-care guidelines and research education in medicine.

We investigate the roles of extracellular matrix (ECM) components from the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) class, enzymes for biosynthesis of GAGs and cell surface receptors of GAGs in the regulation of inflammatory response in generalized destructive form of periodontal disease in humans

The effect of diving (SCUBA and breath hold) on cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory function using noninvasive (echocardiography, continuous blood pressure measurements, TCD, MRI, respiratory mechanics, etc) and invasive (MSNA, arterial and central venous catheterization, internal jugular vein catheterization, etc) methods. The clinical interest is related to following diseases: chronic heart failure, COPD, stroke, TIA, tetraplegia, etc. 

The general objectives of this project proposal are to provide a comprehensive model of the pandemic effects by investigating the contribution of  sociodemographic factors and pandemic related stressors to individual differences in the intensity of psychopathological symptoms (depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, self-destructive behaviours) as well as to the levels of psychosocial adjustment during the pandemic.
