Veins in the lungs, or pulmonary veins, play a critical role not only in lung functioning but also in maintaining sufficient oxygen in tissue throughout the body. When a person sustains pulmonary injury from an illness like influenza or COVID, repair of blood vessels and the creation of new ones is vital to meet oxygen demands; however, research in these areas remains underexplored.
Michael J. Hogan, PhD, assistant professor of Pathobiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet), has been awarded a one-year grant from the W.W. Smith Charitable Trust. The grant will fund Hogan’s investigation aimed at gaining a clearer understanding of a particular type of immune response that could pave the way for developing a safe and effective HIV/AIDS vaccine using pioneering mRNA technology.
