Research project funded by NIH NIEHS to study mast cell activation in lung injury caused by chemical threat agents using mouse models and human lung-on-a-chip, aiming to find therapeutic targets.
Description
The project focuses on understanding the role of mast cells in lung injury caused by chemical threat agents. The research involves in vivo mouse models and a novel human lung-on-a-chip model. The goal is to identify common pathways for therapeutic targets. The project is funded by the NIH NIEHS and involves multiple investigators.
