A research grant awarded to Oregon Health & Science University to study and develop therapies targeting glial scar formation in neonatal white matter injury to improve myelination and reduce lifelong disabilities.
Description
This research grant focuses on developing therapies to prevent glial scar formation in neonatal white matter injury caused by hypoxia-ischemia. The project aims to define molecular pathways initiating glial scar formation and test inhibitors to promote myelination and reduce disabilities such as cerebral palsy.
