Research project funded by the National Eye Institute to study the role of glycosylation in corneal nerve regeneration and sensation, aiming to develop therapeutic strategies for nerve repair in the eye.
Description
This project investigates how glycosylation affects nerve regeneration and sensation in the cornea, focusing on the composition of glycans in the trigeminal ganglion and their alterations after injury. The study aims to develop strategies to promote nerve repair by targeting glycan pathways.
