This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $426,057 in funding to Duquesne University to evaluate the response of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) during a viral infection in the developing brain. The project aims to define the protective role of juvenile immune cells in promoting OPC proliferation and the role of OPC maturation in recovery from demyelination during a juvenile infection. This research is expected to provide insights into cellular and molecular interactions that direct OPC fate during a juvenile viral infection, potentially leading to the development of therapies to preserve or restore myelination in the young brain. The project will involve a sub-award to the University of Pittsburgh to provide technical services and access to electron microscopy expertise.
