This award supports research at Duke University to improve bone fracture healing in aged populations by targeting ApoE and MuSK pathways using neutralizing antibodies and mechanistic studies.
Description
Research grant focused on investigating Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) as an age-associated inhibitor of fracture repair, exploring neutralizing antibodies to improve aged bone healing and elucidate mechanisms involving the receptor muscle-specific kinase (MuSK).
