This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), provides $1,624,100.00 to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. to conduct research on the role of the REST and MED12 tumor suppressors in regulating estrogen-progesterone pathways in uterine fibroids. The key objectives are to understand the molecular mechanisms by which the loss of REST and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $235,500.00 to develop a standardized baboon model for researching uterine fibroids. The award, with a period of performance from Aug 1, 2024 to Jul 31, 2026, will be used to establish immortalized baboon myometrial cell lines that mimic human uterine fibroid cells. This work aims to create a...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded a $390,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Thomas Jefferson University, doing business as Sidney Kimmel Medical College, to evaluate uterine fibroids using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and subharmonic-aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) techniques. The study aims to determine patterns of uterine fibroid vascularity before and after uterine artery embolization (UAE)...
This $1,963,122 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports a collaborative research project to study the molecular mechanisms regulating uterine development. The project aims to define critical genetic and epigenetic pathways governing epithelial specification, differentiation, and morphogenesis in the mouse uterus, with a focus on the role of...
The National Cancer Institute awarded a $681,337 Project Grant under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to Northwestern University for the research project "The STAT3 Pathway in Uterine Leiomyoma: A Therapeutic Target". The project aims to determine the functional role of the STAT3 signaling pathway in the growth of uterine leiomyomas (fibroids), particularly for the most prevalent MED12-mutated subtype. Utilizing patient-derived xenograft models and single-nucleus...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $229,393.00, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865).
