Examination of paternal alcohol exposure as a pathway for transmitting cellular damage to offspring and its implications for developmental and metabolic health.
Key Takeaways
- Backed by a new $2.9 million grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
- Investigators aim to map how alcohol-induced cellular stress disrupts offspring mitochondrial function
- Major focus of the project is the mitochondria — the parts of cells responsible for producing energy
