Research project funded by NIAID to study how ER-phagy receptors in lung epithelial cells regulate influenza virus burden and lung injury through interferon pathways.
Description
This project explores the role of ER-phagy, a specialized cellular process, in influenza virus clearance and lung damage mitigation. It aims to characterize the ER-Phagy-IFN axis in lung epithelial cells to better understand mechanisms controlling viral burden and lung injury.
