Research project funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism studying how alcohol affects mitochondrial function and cell death in traumatic brain injury.
Description
The project investigates the impact of alcohol and traumatic brain injury on mitochondrial function and cell death mechanisms, including ferroptosis. The project is funded by the NIH and involves research training with specific aims to study mitochondrial bioenergetics, oxidative stress, and cell death at the injury site. The project emphasizes the role of alcohol in exacerbating TBI-related mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation.
