๐ Congrats to Desai Lab grad student John Duncan on receiving NIH F31 funding to study "TRPM7-V-ATPase coupling in endolysosomal acidification"! His work explores how macrophages keep their pathogen-fighting compartments acidic. ๐งซ๐ฌ #NIHFunded #PharmStudent #ImmunologyResearch
New #NIHFunded study finds a sex-specific vulnerability in retinal aging.
Disrupted cell signaling and energy use drove retinal nerve loss in aging female mice, pointing to new targets for #Glaucoma and related diseases. @VUMCDiscoveries

Rods & cones donโt play by the same metabolic rules.
#NIHFunded work shows rods rely on glucose transport across the outer blood-retinal barrier, but cones are more resilient. @JeffersonUniv @UMKelloggEye

Large biobank analysis suggests many disease-risk modifying variants linked to inherited retinal degeneration have lower population penetrance than assumed.
#NIHFunded findings inform how we interpret genetic risk.
