A multi-year NIH grant awarded to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study respiratory mucus and mucin structure and function, aiming to develop therapeutic strategies for muco-obstructive diseases.
Description
The project aims to investigate fundamental aspects of the mucus clearance system, focusing on mucin structure, associations, and their roles in lung health and disease. It includes four main projects investigating mucin organization, mucolytic development, mucus transport mechanisms, and submucosal gland mucus attributes.
