NIH grant awarded to University of Florida to study the role of RIPK2 in neuroinflammation after ischemic stroke, aiming to reduce stroke damage by limiting neuroinflammation through RIPK2 inhibition or degradation.
Description
This NIH grant supports research on neuroinflammation in ischemic stroke, focusing on RIPK2 as a potential therapeutic target. The project involves in vivo studies using aged mice, cell-specific genetic models, and novel inhibitors to elucidate mechanisms and assess neuroprotection.
