Description

This NIH-funded research project aims to study the role of sensory interoceptive nerves in lung development and function using a fetal sheep model. The research involves neural tracing, denervation, and nerve activity recording to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying lung development and interoception. The project is funded by NIH RFA-AT-21-003 and is scheduled for the award period 2025-2026. The study has implications for understanding human lung diseases originating during development.
