The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University a $433,824 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct research aimed at understanding the metabolic mechanisms underlying diabetic cardiomyopathy. The project will leverage induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to generate cardiovascular cell models of type 2 diabetes and assess the impact of SGLT2 inhibition on cellular and metabolic...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) totals $691,614.00 and will be executed from December 15, 2024 to November 30, 2028. The award supports research at Rhode Island Hospital, a division of Lifespan Corporation, to investigate how post-translational modifications of the enzyme CaMKII during chronic diabetes dysregulate endothelial small-conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK)...
This $323,277 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will support research to identify mechanisms of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. The key goals are to 1) determine how fatty acid uptake contributes to RV lipotoxicity and dysfunction, and 2) identify causes of impaired reactive oxygen species signaling in the diabetic RV. This novel research aims to advance...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $543,268 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope. This grant aims to elucidate the RNA-mediated epigenetic and epitranscriptional mechanisms underlying diabetes-associated endotheliopathy, in order to develop novel therapeutics to ameliorate diabetic vasculopathy. The research will be conducted across three interconnected projects: 1)...
This $126,442 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports research at the University of Minnesota to determine the effects of hyperglycemia and glycemic recovery on aortic biomechanics and mechanobiology. The central hypothesis is that chronic hyperglycemia leads to cellular and matrix changes in the aorta, and that while glycemic recovery can reverse the cellular changes, the matrix...

This Project Grant award of $248,998 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports a comprehensive research project investigating the role of autophagy, a cellular process, in microvascular dysfunction associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The award will fund a series of studies to examine whether T2DM is linked to impairments in microvascular vasodilation and whether autophagic flux, the process of clearing damaged cellular components, contributes to cutaneous microvascular function in T2DM. The research will be conducted at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc., a private medical school and research institution, and is intended to help the principal investigator, Dr. Hughes, transition to becoming an independent investigator in the field of human microvascular physiology within the context of T2DM. The project will leverage a multidisciplinary mentoring team and incorporate training in advanced molecular techniques, clinical trial management, and investigating microvascular function using laser Doppler flowmetry and microdialysis.
