The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $411,125 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Syracuse University to develop a microfluidic human placenta organoid model. The goal is to generate human trophoblast stem cells (HTSCs) from induced pluripotent stem cells and use them to create a placenta organoid system that can replicate early/mid-gestation placental development. The researchers will study the role of...
This Project Grant award of $147,486, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA Program 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, aims to investigate the role of the placenta-brain axis in Down Syndrome (DS) development. The research, conducted by The Johns Hopkins University, will examine how increased dosage of human chromosome 21 genes, specifically APP and SOD1, impact placental function and the secretion of neuroactive...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $429,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865: Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Thomas Jefferson University, doing business as Sidney Kimmel Medical College, to develop a new imaging tool to assess placental hemodynamics during pregnancy. The study aims to determine if Subharmonic Aided Pressure Estimation (SHAPE) using contrast-enhanced ultrasound can provide a safe, non-invasive, and real-time method...
This $424,373 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), will support research to identify and validate transcription factors that control preeclampsia-specific gene expression programs. The project will utilize human trophoblast stem cells as a model system to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of these "preeclampsia-driver" transcription factors...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will investigate the role of thyroid hormone in placental function. The $423,500 award to Colorado State University aims to determine how impairment of trophoblast expression of iodothyronine deiodinases affects placental development and fetal growth by mid-gestation. This...
This federal Project Grant award for $378,123 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports research to identify and test mechanisms that establish transcriptional regulatory potency in early embryos. The primary activities include using genomic methods like PRO-seq, DREG, and OMNI-ATAC to characterize transcriptionally active regulatory elements, DNA accessibility, and...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has awarded a $423,985 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Illinois to develop a novel non-invasive monitoring system for detecting placental dysfunction and associated pregnancy complications. The funding will support research to utilize extracellular vesicles (EVs) circulating in maternal blood as biomarkers, using a "target recycling...
This federal Project Grant award for $152,816.00, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), aims to investigate the link between Down's syndrome (trisomy 21) and placentation defects. The research will focus on: Identifying transcriptional differences in implantation-stage trophoblasts between trisomy 21 and euploid induced pluripotent stem cell lines through RNA-sequencing. Assessing the...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $1,576,519 to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) to investigate the role of the RNA methyltransferase METTL3 in mammalian placental development and maintenance. The research aims to elucidate how METTL3-mediated RNA modifications regulate...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $225,324 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Duke University to conduct research on the role of mitochondrial specialization in early embryonic development. The research, led by the Sherwood Lab, will utilize a newly developed in vivo toolkit in C. elegans to investigate how the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) is regulated to meet the varying energetic...
