NIH funded project to develop mitochondrial-targeting exosome therapies to treat neuroinflammation and related neurological disorders.
Description
This project aims to develop targeted treatments for neuroinflammation in brain cells by delivering anti-inflammatory agents directly to mitochondria using exosomes. The innovative approach seeks to restore mitochondrial function, reduce oxidative stress, and modulate neuroinflammatory responses, potentially revolutionizing treatment options for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS.
