Research project awarded to study the role of NG2/CSPG4 in mandibular fracture healing using animal models to find new therapeutic targets.
Description
The project focuses on molecular mechanisms of healing in mandibular fractures, with a specific emphasis on NG2/CSPG4 signaling. The research utilizes a preclinical murine model and transgenic knockout animal models. The project aims to identify new therapeutic targets for clinical intervention in mandibular fracture healing.
