Research Support
Ongoing Research Support
01/02/17 - 31/01/20 Programma per Giovani Ricercatori - Rita Levi Montalcini, ITA. Tupone, Domenico (PI). Title: Centrally induced torpor-like state for therapeutic hypothermia
- The aim of this grant is to reduce the stroke damage induced by ischemia using deep hypothermia and torpor -like state induced by central activation of adenosine A1 receptor.
Completed Research Support
09/01/12-09/01/13 Collins Medical Trust Research Grant, USA. Tupone, Domenico (PI). Title: Central adenosine A1 receptor activation induces a hypothermic and hypometabolic state - a mechanism for the induction of therapeutic hypothermia.
- The aim of this grant was to generate a hypothermic and hypometabolic state, similar to torpor, in the rat, a non-hibernating animal, and to use this state to reduce the stroke damage induced by ischemia.
