Vascular Barrier Leakage in Inflammation
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Vascular barrier breakdown is a hallmark of aberrant inflammation associated with trauma, infection, and cardiovascular diseases. There are currently no drugs that can effectively stop or prevent vascular leakage, owing to our incomplete understanding of its underlying mechanisms. We propose an in-depth investigation of the molecular and cellular reactions in the vascular wall during inflammation in hopes to identify new diagnostic or therapeutic targets for effective treatment of vascular inflammation.
