The project investigates extracellular vesicles in pulmonary inflammation, analyzing their role in inflammation resolution and potential therapeutic development using advanced techniques.
Description
This project aims to study the kinetic production of extracellular vesicles (EV) and their miRNAs cargos in the lung after particle exposure using advanced analytical systems. The research focuses on understanding how EVs mediate cell-cell communication and contribute to inflammation resolution, with potential applications in developing tools to reduce chronic airway inflammatory diseases.
