- The National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded National Jewish Health $1,559,468 on July 10, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate the physiological function of MyD88 alternative splicing in terminating lung inflammation. The research examines how alternative pre-mRNA splicing of the MyD88 gene regulates toll-like receptor signaling and inflammatory response. The project focuses on two MyD88 splice forms: the...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Washington University $1.902 million on June 15, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to define and correct immune-epithelial pathways underlying chronic muco-obstructive lung disease triggered by viral infection, allergen, smoke, or pollution exposure. The research identifies and characterizes a distinct subset of basal epithelial stem cells (basal-ESCs) that drive muco-obstructive disease phenotypes...
- The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded Northwestern University $654,762 on June 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate regulatory T cell mechanisms limiting persistent inflammation during recovery from viral pneumonia. The award funds research into how FOXP3+ regulatory T cells orchestrate lung repair after viral pneumonia through expression of suppressive mediators, particularly the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10. The...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Northwestern University $1,589,058 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on June 25, 2026, to support research on disordered mitochondrial proteostasis and alveolar epithelial repair in aging lungs. The project investigates how age-related dysfunction in mitochondrial complex I impairs lung recovery following viral pneumonia, with a focus on the role of alveolar epithelial type 2 cells in epithelial repair and the...
- The National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia $1,741,543 on September 15, 2025, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate lung injury in pediatric hematopoietic cell transplant recipients. The research examines molecular mechanisms of pulmonary toxicity in pediatric HCT recipients, who experience lung injury in up to 40% of cases with mortality rates of 40% when requiring...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Cedars-Sinai Medical Center $717,680 on July 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate immune epithelial niche mechanisms underlying post-viral lung fibrosis. The research examines how anti-viral CD8+ T cell immunity, specifically interferon-gamma signaling and macrophage-derived interleukin-1 beta secretion, impairs alveolar epithelial repair following severe respiratory viral infections. The...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The University of Iowa $599,466 on August 19, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to fund research examining the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving submucosal gland hypertrophy in chronic lung diseases including asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis. The funded research will identify fundamental pathways responsible for pathological gland enlargement by defining key cell-cell interactions and signaling...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the Trustees of Boston University $712,630 on August 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate functional heterogeneity of alveoli and early responses to airborne agents. The recipient will develop and apply the Crystal Ribcage, a novel intravital imaging platform, to visualize real-time, high-resolution dynamics of the intact, ventilating lung. The research will define the anatomy, physiology,...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $1,151,498 on March 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to support research on lung epithelial development and regeneration. The research aims to restore epithelial integrity and prevent end-stage lung diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by understanding how the lung epithelium develops in embryos and regenerates following injury....
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research $586,866 on May 15, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate the protective role of B-1a cells in acute lung injury and to evaluate a novel therapeutic compound. The project examines the mechanisms by which B-1a cells mitigate acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome, conditions frequently triggered by sepsis or ischemia-reperfusion...
