NIH-funded research to study sensory interoceptive nerves in fetal sheep lungs to understand lung development and potential treatments for pulmonary diseases.
Description
This project aims to investigate the role of sensory interoceptive nerves in lung development and function, using a fetal sheep model. It will delineate neural connectivity, assess the impact of denervation and stimulation on lung morphology and respiratory function, and record nerve traffic throughout development.
