🎓The role of the epithelial sodium channel in immune cell function

The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) plays an important role in sodium and water balance. Recently, it has been shown that ENaC also controls inflammatory responses such as the release of proinflammatory cytokines by immune cells. In my PhD project I aim to identify what specific ENaC isoforms are present in immune cells and how ENaC activity influences their function.
