- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $107,752 to Duke University to investigate the mechanisms of lung fibrosis. The research aims to evaluate epithelial cell-fibroblast interactions contributing to fibroblast activation through the CTHRC1-TGFβ signaling pathway, in the context of bronchiolitis obliterans and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The 2-year project leverages Duke's...
- The Project Grant award titled "Alveolar Epithelial Stress Signaling in Lung Fibrosis" is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) for $683,564.00 over the period of Jul 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2030. The award supports comprehensive research focused on understanding the role of aberrant alveolar epithelial cells in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis, a devastating and progressive lung disease. The research aims to investigate...
- This federal Project Grant award of $722,584 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research on the role of the desmosome-keratin intermediate filament network in lung epithelial injury, repair, and regeneration. The research aims to explore how dysfunction or loss of this network may contribute to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The award was made to Tulane University, a private research institution with expertise in...
- This Project Grant award of $389,754 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports research to assess the therapeutic potential of a peptide derived from collagen XVIII for treating lung fibrosis associated with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). The project aims to evaluate the anti-fibrotic effects of this peptide in a murine model of lung fibrosis, as well as identify the minimal effective dose, optimal...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), through the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $188,892 Project Grant to the University of Washington to support research on the role of CD163+ blood monocytes and lung macrophages in progressive pulmonary fibrosis. This 5-year grant, starting August 1, 2025, will fund a physician-scientist's research plan that leverages the university's expertise in immunology, bioinformatics, and lung biology to...
- This federal Project Grant award of $644,997.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to identify proteomic biomarkers that can predict the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a severe and often fatal lung disease. The research aims to develop non-invasive assessments that can identify individuals at higher risk of developing IPF and those with more progressive forms of the disease, enabling earlier...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $722,667 project grant to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) to conduct research on ribosome dysfunction in lung fibrosis associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The 5-year project, spanning from September 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, aims to investigate the mechanisms by which enhanced ribosome biogenesis leads to an altered...
- This Project Grant award for $702,103 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to systematically define the signaling pathways by which the protein SFTA2 interacts with the receptor ADGRF5 to control pulmonary surfactant homeostasis. The awardee, National Jewish Health, a non-profit research center in Colorado, will use cell-based assays and mouse genetics to test the hypothesis that SFTA2 regulates alveolar surfactant...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), supports research on how tissue elasticity and viscosity modulate the signaling between macrophages and fibroblasts in cardiac fibrosis. The $231,552 award, granted to the University of California, San Diego, will fund research to investigate the effects of mechanical stimuli on macrophage-fibroblast interactions and explore the role of a changing mechanical...
- This $386,756 Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will support a research project to develop an exosomic signature for rapidly progressive idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The principal investigator, Dr. Christina Eckhardt, will leverage existing IPF patient cohorts and data to identify extracellular vesicle-associated microRNAs that can quantify and predict the risk of accelerated IPF...
