Research project studying how sympathetic signaling affects bone loss after spinal cord injury, using advanced techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing.
Description
This project investigates the mechanisms driving bone loss after spinal cord injury (SCI), focusing on local sympathetic signaling changes. The study aims to determine the effects of SCI level on norepinephrine (NE) and its role in bone loss and hematopoiesis, employing techniques such as flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing.
