Award for research on ATP release mechanisms from astrocytes using live imaging and genetic tools in Drosophila, aiming to understand neuromodulation in humans.
Description
This project involves investigating the mechanisms of ATP release from astrocytes in the brain, using live imaging and genetic manipulation in Drosophila. The research aims to understand how ATP and adenosine signaling are regulated in vivo, with implications for understanding astrocyte neuromodulation in humans.
