Research project funded by NIGMS to study how nociceptor neurons regulate tissue-resident macrophages, aiming to improve treatments for inflammatory diseases.
Description
This research aims to address key knowledge gaps regarding neuron-TRM interactions in inflammation and repair, ultimately improving therapeutic strategies against inflammatory diseases. The project investigates how nociceptor neurons regulate macrophage polarization and maintenance, which could lead to novel treatments for inflammatory diseases such as sepsis.
