"Purinergic Receptor P2Y6 Mediated Arteriogenesis" and "Inflammasome-Mediated Effects of SARS-related proteins on Muscle Satellite Cells in Peripheral Arterial Disease"

Date

April 19, 2022 - 10:00am to 11:30am

Event Description

"Purinergic Receptor P2Y6 Mediated Arteriogenesis"

Presenter: Rohan Kulkarni, MD (mentor: Ryan McEnaney, MD)

Dr. Kulkarni will discuss how purine nucleotides released into circulation influence the growth and maturation of collateral blood vessels when binding to P2Y receptor 6.

"Inflammasome-Mediated Effects of SARS-related proteins on Muscle Satellite Cells in Peripheral Arterial Disease"

Presenter: Bowen Xie, MD (mentor: Ulka Sachdev, MD)

This project aims to evaluate whether peripheral arterial disease (PAD) potentiates the interaction and effects of SARS-related proteins in myoblasts as well as the effects of these viral peptides on inflammasome function in PAD patients.
