This $142,902 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), aims to uncover the mechanism by which the regulatory GTPase ARL13B drives polycystic kidney disease (PKD) pathogenesis. The research, led by Dr. Van Sciver at Emory University, will biochemically and genetically dissect ARL13B's interaction with three effector proteins - CDK1, ARL3,...
The University of Pittsburgh received a $198,750 Project Grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) to develop a rapid, quantitative platform using yeast to classify how approximately 70 identified mutations in the polycystin-1 (PC1) protein disrupt channel activity with PC2. This research aims to provide new reagents and assays to the scientific and PKD (polycystic kidney disease) community to study the molecular defects of PC1 mutants. The...
This $492,329 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to investigate the role of the FBW7 gene in the development of cystic kidney diseases. The project aims to enhance understanding of the cellular mechanisms driving cyst formation, fibrosis, and tubular degeneration, with the goal of identifying new therapeutic targets...
This $223,918 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) supports research to understand the mechanism of kidney resident macrophage (KRM) niche filling as a potential approach to slowing cystic kidney disease progression in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $135,582 Project Grant (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center to construct a single-cell atlas of mouse and human cells in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The project aims to understand how molecular and cellular pathways found in ADPKD patients correlate to mouse models, and to identify inter-...

This Project Grant award for $2,029,830 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to determine the structures and stoichiometry of polycystin protein complexes and develop them as biomarkers for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The research aims to clarify the mechanistic roles of these disease-associated channel proteins, understand the impact of disease mutations, and inform future therapeutic development for ADPKD, biliary atresia, and congenital heart defects. The project will be conducted primarily by the University of Utah, with a sub-award to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to contribute to the structural biology and channel characterization studies.
