Project Grant K01AA032055
- This federal Project Grant award of $701,051 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273). The grant supports research to investigate the phenotypes and functions of distinct neutrophil populations in patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). Key objectives include: 1) Characterizing the transcriptomic profiles and functional roles of neutrophil subsets in AH using single-cell RNA sequencing; 2)...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $253,383 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Yale University to explore the role of the hepatocyte inflammasome in alcoholic liver disease (ALD). This research aims to investigate the liver-specific effects of the inflammasome, a key mediator of inflammation, in hepatocytes - the predominant liver cell type and a driver of ALD pathophysiology. The project will use mouse models to evaluate...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $438,375 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to establish a human liver-on-a-chip model for studying alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The 2-year project, starting September 2023, aims to investigate the roles of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and acetaldehyde metabolism in regulating ethanol-induced liver damage as well as the contribution of fibrotic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) provides $440,566 to Yale University to advance the treatment of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The primary objective is to uncover therapeutic targets and develop effective ALD treatments, with a focus on the methyltransferase-like (METTL) protein family, notably METTL7A, which is highly expressed in ALD patients. The research utilizes cutting-edge technology...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs), supports research to determine the molecular mechanism by which the neutrophilic NCF1 gene and its downstream target miR-223 impact the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The $249,000 project, awarded to the Trustees of Indiana University, will investigate how neutrophils drive disease severity and mediate liver injury in ALD through the...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,376,398 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Yale University to develop a humanized mouse model to study alcohol-associated hepatitis (AAH). The project aims to create a fully humanized mouse liver system by engrafting human hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells to better understand the complex cell interactions that drive key features of AAH, a leading cause of liver-related deaths...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $249,000.00 to East Tennessee State University to characterize acetaldehyde-protein adducts and their effects on lymphocyte function in alcohol-associated liver disease. The research aims to investigate how the ethanol metabolite acetaldehyde forms adducts on proteins, particularly albumin, and how this modulates the pathogenesis of...
- This federal Project Grant award of $659,865 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) supports research at Yale University to investigate the role of aberrant mitochondrial calcium signaling in the development of alcohol-associated hepatitis (AAH). The project will examine how the expression and localization of the inositol trisphosphate receptor (ITPR) isoforms, particularly ITPR3, impact mitochondrial calcium signals and cellular...
- This Project Grant award of $123,045.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) supports research on the role of the TRAF3IP2 protein in the development of alcohol-related cardiomyopathy. The project will investigate whether alcohol-induced cardiac fibroblast activation, proinflammatory cytokine expression, and extracellular matrix changes are dependent on TRAF3IP2, and whether deleting the TRAF3IP2 gene prevents alcohol-induced...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $550,417 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant, effective September 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports research to investigate how heavy alcohol exposure in aging individuals leads to impaired microglia function, neurodegeneration, and cognitive deficits. The study aims to determine whether dysregulated neuroimmune and microglia responses are...
This $177,736 Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) located in Massachusetts. The project aims to investigate the role of hepatokines, predominantly hepatocyte-secreted proteins, in the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease and alcohol-associated hepatitis. Specifically, the research will explore the involvement of the hepatokine fibrinogen-like 1 (FGL1) and its receptor LAG3 in modulating immune cell function in these alcohol-related liver diseases. The project will also examine the mechanism by which alcohol induces FGL1 expression through the BTK-IL6-STAT3 signaling pathway in hepatocytes. The award has a project period from September 5, 2025 to August 31, 2030.
