NIH grant awarded to Northwestern University for research on BMP-Cx40 signaling in lung transplantation aimed at developing therapies to improve transplant outcomes.
Description
This NIH grant supports research on BMP-Cx40 signaling in lung transplantation to prevent primary graft dysfunction. The project involves animal models, human alveolus-on-a-chip systems, and therapeutic testing with recombinant proteins and small molecules. The goal is to develop targeted vascular therapies to improve transplant outcomes.
