- The U.S. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $222,500 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope. The grant supports research to understand how conjugated bile acids regulate metabolism after bariatric surgery, with the goal of developing safer and more affordable treatments for obesity and fatty liver disease. Key activities include...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $726,922 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope. The grant will fund research examining the role of chromatin remodeling factors, specifically the protein JARID2, in modulating inflammatory processes that contribute to diabetic microvascular complications such as retinopathy and...
- This $108,486 Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to identify novel immune markers associated with obesity-driven diseases. The objective is to utilize novel tools to study the inter-organ communication pathway between the intestine and adipose tissue immune cells. The research leverages a Cre-inducible...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded Duke University a $241,500 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to study the regulation of metabolic diseases by the human commensal bacterium Clostridium immunis. The overarching goal is to determine the mechanism by which an exopolysaccharide (EPS) secreted by C. immunis decreases visceral adiposity, a key risk factor for type 2 diabetes and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $641,794 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant aims to elucidate the mechanisms that protect beta-cells from DNA damage during periods of growth and adaptation, in order to maintain beta-cell homeostasis and prevent the loss of functional beta-cells, a key factor in the development of type 1 and type 2...
- This federal Project Grant award of $444,867.00 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), aims to investigate the role of the UPR transducer XBP1 in pancreatic beta cell survival and function under metabolic stress. The research will use a novel mouse model to elucidate the pathological role of XBP1s in beta cell integrity under metabolic stress, in order to...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), through the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), awarded a $153,554 Project Grant to the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope. This grant, awarded on September 15, 2025, supports research aimed at unveiling novel targets for type 1 diabetes therapy by investigating the functional heterogeneity of pancreatic alpha cells and their interactions with beta and delta...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $773,112 Project Grant to Rockefeller University on September 5, 2025 under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research to investigate the mechanisms of transcriptional control in adipocyte formation and function through nuclear receptor coactivators. The research aims to provide a better understanding of dysregulation in energy storage...
- This $847,746 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) supports research by the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope to investigate the role of the UPR transducer XBP1 in pancreatic beta cell survival and function under metabolic stress. The research aims to identify the "tilting point" of the unfolded protein response (UPR) under metabolic stress and explore its potential for therapeutic interventions for...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $168,900 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to The Children's Hospital Corporation, doing business as Boston Children's Hospital. This grant, awarded on Jul 15, 2025, supports research to determine how the commensal bacterial species Blautia activates signaling events within the gut epithelium to benefit host metabolism and mucosal health....
The Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope received a $140,116 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant, awarded on September 15, 2025, will support research to identify and characterize a mechanism of communication between the intestine and white adipose tissue via intestinal mTOR signaling. The goal is to understand how this intestine-fat tissue crosstalk regulates glucose homeostasis and energy metabolism by modulating the gut microbiome composition and metabolites. The research will involve conducting fecal microbiota transplants from mice with intestinal mTOR knockout to germ-free mice, as well as screening for candidate gut-derived metabolites linked to the observed white fat browning and metabolic effects.
