Research project funded by the National Eye Institute to study the impact of neuronal activity on retinal blood vessel development and barrier maturation, with a $248,999 award for 2026.
Description
This project explores how neuronal activity regulates retinal angiogenesis and blood-retinal barrier maturation, with potential implications for degenerative eye diseases. The project is funded by the National Eye Institute, with a total award of $248,999 for fiscal year 2026. The project involves genetic models to study glutamatergic and cholinergic neuronal activities in mice.
