NIH grant awarded to University of Missouri-Columbia for research on NaV1.5 channels in renal vascular smooth muscle cells to understand and treat neonatal ischemic acute kidney injury.
Description
This NIH grant supports research on the role of voltage-gated sodium channels in neonatal kidney injury, with a focus on NaV1.5 channels in renal vascular smooth muscle cells. The project involves biochemical analyses, electrophysiology, and animal models, and aims to identify potential therapeutic targets for neonatal AKI.
