NIH grant awarded to University of Maryland, College Park to study lipid metabolism changes during enterovirus infections and develop antiviral strategies targeting these pathways.
Description
This NIH grant project investigates the rerouting of lipid synthesis pathways upon enterovirus infections to identify targets for broad-spectrum anti-viral therapeutics. The study focuses on how enteroviruses manipulate cellular lipid metabolism to support viral replication and aims to develop new intervention strategies by targeting these lipid metabolism pathways.
