A research grant awarded to study how sex differences affect immune response regulation through neurotransmitters in myeloid cells, aiming to understand molecular drivers and mechanisms.
Description
This project investigates sex differences in immune responses by studying the regulation of myeloid cells by neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate, focusing on chromosomal versus hormonal influences and their roles in inflammatory and immunosuppressive programming of monocytes and neutrophils.
