COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS

Project Title: Angiogenesis, Functional Recovery and TNF-alpha after Stroke
Goal: The major goal is to determine if activation of the TNFα-NF-kB pathway promotes neurovascular remodeling and functional recovery after a small focal ischemia in the barrel cortex.
Funding: R01NS045810 (PI: Wei) from NINDS/NIH          

Project Title: Inner ear ion transport mechanisms
Goal: The goal of this project is to evaluate the potential of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to repair the damaged fibrocytes in the inner ears.
