This federal 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), provides $546,503.00 to Duke University to conduct research on how the gut senses and communicates bitter stimuli to the brain. The research aims to determine how specialized gut cells called neuropod cells detect bitter compounds through taste receptors and signal this information to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under CFDA 93.847 Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research, supports research to understand the neural populations in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) that mediate the suppression of food intake. The $502,233 award to the Regents of the University of Michigan aims to define the NTS neuron populations that control food intake and body weight, and distinguish...
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 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), provides $516,648 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to conduct research on understanding the mechanisms by which microbially derived metabolites regulate host gut inflammation. The award period runs from August 28, 2024 to February 28, 2027. The research aims to determine the regulatory...

The project, titled "Decoding Endocrine and Paracrine Communication Through Mammokines," aims to discover new signaling molecules from the mammary gland that influence metabolic function and the progression of obesity and type 2...

The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded a $152,205 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of California San Francisco under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847).

The grant funds research to investigate how vagal sensory neurons regulate autonomic responses to achieve metabolic homeostasis, and how downstream neuronal circuits in the nucleus tractus solitarius integrate interoceptive signals and generate output commands to drive metabolic responses. Specifically, the awardee will study vagal subtypes and their role in gut signal detection, and further examine how the nucleus tractus solitarius processes these signals to command physiological and behavioral responses maintaining energy balance. The funding period is from February 3, 2021 to June 11, 2021 and allows the awardee to advance research linking sensory neurobiology to metabolic regulation and autonomic physiology.
