Neuroprotection in spinal cord injury and disease
Description:
This project focuses on the mechanisms underlying plasma membrane calcium ATPase and collapsing response mediator protein-mediated neuronal degeneration and neuroprotection in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and spinal cord injury. A combination of in vivo models, spinal cord neuronal cultures, and genetically modified mice are used.
