NIH awarded a grant to University of California, San Diego to study sex differences in myocardial fibrosis using biomaterials, with a focus on X-chromosome dosage, funded for approximately $960,000 over two years.
Description
The project aims to develop sex-specific cardiac fibrosis models and therapies focusing on the role of X-chromosome dosage in myocardial fibrosis. Funded by the NIH National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) for a multiyear project from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2028.
