NIH awarded a research grant to study how cutaneous CD4+ T cells reprogram tissue structural cells, aiming to develop therapies to reset inflammatory memory and treat skin inflammation.
Description
This NIH research grant focuses on understanding inflammatory memory in skin cells and exploring therapeutic interventions. The project examines the cross-talk between T cell derived cytokines and structural cells to understand reprogramming of structural cells by T cells and explore therapeutic targeting to block cutaneous inflammation.
