Mechanisms and functional role of mitochondria in eosinophilic esophagitis
Description: Project Narrative Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an emerging form of allergic inflammation that exerts a significant clinical and financial burden worldwide. Here, we will define the impact of EoE inflammation on mitochondrial biology, as well as the functional significance of mitochondria in EoE. These studies have great potential to advance our understanding of EoE pathobiology, which may then translate to improved clinical care of EoE patients.
