NIH grant awarded to Ohio State University to study the role of the innate immune system in thrombus formation and cytokine storm during COVID-19, aiming to develop new therapeutic targets.
Description
This project aims to improve understanding of the innate immune system's contribution to thrombus formation and cytokine storm during SARS-CoV-2 infection in the brain and blood circulation. It will test suitable inhibitors in collaboration with other projects to provide new insights into immunothrombosis and brain pathology during COVID-19, facilitating the design of new therapeutic targets.
