NIH funded research project studying the role of sympathetic signaling in bone loss following spinal cord injury, aiming to uncover mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
Description
This NIH grant project investigates mechanisms driving bone loss after spinal cord injury (SCI), focusing on local sympathetic signaling changes. The research aims to understand level-dependent effects of SCI on bone and how the bone marrow niche alters hematopoiesis and bone metabolism in response to SCI.
