This NIH-funded project studies how exosomes from herpes zoster patients contribute to increased risk of vascular dementia by promoting vascular dysfunction. The research analyzes plasma exosomes over 12 months post-zoster to uncover underlying mechanisms.
Description
The project focuses on the role of exosomes in herpes zoster-related vascular dementia. It involves analysis of plasma exosomes over a 12-month period post-zoster and aims to understand mechanisms promoting vascular dysfunction. The project is funded by NIH, FOA PAR-22-093, with a total award of approximately $1.89 million.
