The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded The Washington University a $119,544 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865: Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2028, to investigate the role of cell-free mitochondria in breast milk on neonatal metabolism and health outcomes. The research will deliver scientific knowledge regarding how maternal cell-free mitochondria, primarily derived from macrophages in the lactating mammary gland, contribute to nutrient composition in breast milk and support mitochondrial metabolism in nursing infants. Through two coordinated research aims, the project will characterize the nutrient contributions of cell-free mitochondria to breast milk composition and establish their role in normal neonatal development and disease mitigation, with particular focus on limiting progression of Leigh Syndrome in a relevant mouse disease model. This investigator-initiated research addresses a significant gap in understanding breast milk's beneficial composition relative to formula feeding and may inform strategies to enhance infant formula formulations. The project is conducted at The Washington University's Office of Sponsored Research Services in St. Louis, Missouri, and represents investment in fundamental research with translational potential for improving child health outcomes across diverse populations.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
