We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Social Stress Induced Inflammation: Role of Cytokines @ Texas a&M University System
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Generally, stressors induce glucocorticoid release that acts to suppress inflammatory responses, and often leads to immunosuppression. This is not always the case however, as social disruption stress induces glucocorticoid release and elevations in inflammation. Previous work has shown that when social disruption induced glucocorticoid resistance and elevated inflammation in Theiler's virus infection, this was associated with more severe behavioral signs of the disease and reduced viral clearance over time. Glucocorticoids coregulate many cytokines that are implicated by this pattern of results, including the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha), the interferons (IFN alpha/beta, IFN gamma), and the TH1/Th2 driving cytokines (IL-10, IL-4/IL-12). This proposal will examine the activation of these cytokines during acute Theiler's virus infection and exacerbation due to social disruption. Initial investigation of the necessity and sufficiency of proinflammatory activation will utilize the cytokine with the most pronounced activation change. A battery of behavioral and motor impairment measures due to illness, hierarchy formation as well as molecular, immunological and histological assessments will be used to examine these issues.
