Research project funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to study how stress hormones regulate HSV1 and HSV2 in neurons, focusing on viral latency and reactivation mechanisms.
Description
The project focuses on stress hormone regulation of HSV1 and HSV2 in neurons. It involves research on viral latency, reactivation, and the role of stress hormones. The project aims to identify signaling pathways involved in HSV reactivation using primary adult neuronal cultures and guinea pig infection models.
