- This Project Grant award of $147,486 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to investigate the role of inflammatory signaling in the migration and function of ectopic KRT5+ cells during severe respiratory viral injuries. The research will assess whether canonical NF-kB signaling is necessary for the expansion and migration of these ectopic cells, which have been associated with the development of pulmonary fibrosis following viral...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $701,795 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research aimed at defining the cardinal functions of lung progenitors during regeneration. The 4-year project, which began in September 2025, utilizes a multi-modal approach including cell lineage tracing, single-cell analysis, histological spatial analysis, and cross-species comparison to...
- This Project Grant award for $814,387 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) is supporting research to investigate the role of a novel subpopulation of innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) in lung infections and vascular regeneration. The award recipient, The Trustees of Columbia University, will utilize mouse models, single-cell analysis, and in vitro assays to: Define the tissue niche and response dynamics of lung vascular ILC3s (VILC3s),...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $759,983.00 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to conduct research on the role of neutrophils in lung infections and acute lung injury. The study aims to examine changes in neutrophil transcriptomes and function during Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia, with the goal of improving understanding of the lung's immune response and potential...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $1,061,189 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on immune crosstalk in lung injury and fibrosis. The key objectives are to study epithelial cell regulation of fibrosis and its interaction with myeloid cells, uncover mechanisms for impaired innate immunity against gram-positive infections in fibrosis, test delivery of targeted therapeutics...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $754,729 to the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the mechanisms by which respiratory viral infections, including COVID-19, can lead to persistent lung inflammation and damage. The research aims to understand how viral antigen persistence in pulmonary endothelial cells drives chronic activation of CD8+ T cells, leading to long-term pulmonary sequelae. The...
- The National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded a $511,680 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The grant will fund research from February 2021 through August 2021 to investigate mechanisms by which vascular endothelial cells instruct macrophage fate in inflammatory injury. Specifically, the research will examine how endothelial cell Wnt signaling licenses the differentiation of monocytes...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $144,362 to the University of Pittsburgh to fund a research project focused on understanding the role of the CYB5R1 enzyme in regulating ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, in endothelial cells. The project aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which CYB5R1 protects endothelial cells from ferroptosis, and to determine the...
