The award supports research on the role of T cells in pulmonary hypertension, aiming to understand immune mechanisms driving vascular lesions and identify potential therapeutic targets.
Description
This study focuses on how perivascular T cells contribute to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) by interrogating the T cell subtypes and ligands associated with PH vascular lesion formation. The results aim to provide deeper insight into how the adaptive immune system shapes lung vascular changes and may help identify therapeutically targetable signaling pathways in PH or PH-associated lung diseases.
