NIH grant awarded to University of Virginia for research on respiratory neuronal chemosensitivity mechanisms, focusing on GPR4 and TASK-2 channels in RTN neurons, with a funding amount of $709,740 for the period July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.
Description
This NIH-funded project aims to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying respiratory chemosensitivity, focusing on RTN neurons and their regulation by GPR4 and TASK-2 channels. The study involves advanced genetic and physiological techniques to understand neuroadaptive processes during development and disease, with potential implications for treating breathing disorders.
