A research project funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute to study neuro-immune interactions in lung health and disease, particularly the role of dendritic cells and CGRP in inflammation and fibrosis.
Description
This project investigates the neural regulation of immune cells to understand how neuro-immune interactions alter the inflammatory state after lung injury, with implications for pulmonary wound healing and diseases such as interstitial lung disease. It focuses on the role of dendritic cells and CGRP signaling in pulmonary neuroimmunology.
