This Project Grant award for $1,032,192 was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The project aims to conduct a comprehensive, cell-type based epigenomic analysis to identify druggable genes for people living with HIV infection who also use cannabis. The research will involve profiling DNA methylation patterns across five different cell types isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, alongside...
This Project Grant award, totaling $788,615, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program. The award supports research at Father Flanagan's Boys' Home in Boys Town, Nebraska to investigate the neural dynamics underlying cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's spectrum conditions and HIV-related brain dysfunction. The key...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $5,147,311 and issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs), supports research to investigate the impact of HIV infection and cocaine use on the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in people living with HIV (PLWH). The key objectives are to: 1) Determine how immune cell phenotypes and HIV proviral DNA burden in monocytes and T cells contribute to BBB permeability in PLWH with and...
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $656,121 Project Grant under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the effects of adolescent cannabis use on prefrontal cortex maturation and cognitive function. The 5-year project aims to investigate how cannabis exposure during adolescence affects microglia-mediated changes in the prefrontal cortex that lead to impaired inhibitory control and executive functions....
This Project Grant award of $983,672.00, awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to provide unparalleled insight into the nature and extent of HIV and methamphetamine use in the brain, as well as the host-immune factors that facilitate inflammation and brain injury. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include the development and implementation of innovative single-cell...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $454,470 to Drexel University to develop a new imaging pipeline to examine epigenetic spatial architecture in the central nervous system (CNS) of mice with HIV infection that self-administer cocaine. The goal is to understand the mechanisms by which HIV infection enhances the neurobehavioral effects of cocaine, with a focus on the role of histone...
This $1,537,749 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying HIV and methamphetamine-induced neuroinflammation mediated by the astrocyte-specific NLRP6 inflammasome. The research, conducted at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), uses in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo approaches to elucidate how exposure to HIV Tat protein and...
This $791,685 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) will fund a longitudinal study investigating neurobehavioral and psychosocial predictors of health risk behaviors (HRBs) from adolescence to young adulthood. The primary goals are to: 1) assess longitudinal associations between brain valuation/control systems and HRBs; 2) examine how childhood poverty, abuse, and neglect impact the developmental...
This $3,472,327 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to study the impact of poly-substance use on the crosstalk between microglia, astrocytes, and neurons that regulates HIV latency. Led by Case Western Reserve University, the project will utilize newly developed methods to derive authentic microglia, astrocytes, and neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to investigate...
This $844,946 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) will fund research to investigate the epigenetic regulation of inflammasome activation and its modulation by cannabinoids during chronic SIV infection and cocaine use. Specifically, the research will: Examine the epigenetic mechanisms underlying cannabinoid-mediated reduction of cocaine-induced inflammasome activation in blood monocytes, brain, and...
