This 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) provides $243,590 to the University of Chicago to study the role of the mitophagy receptor BNIP3 in regulating lipid homeostasis in the liver. The goal is to define the mechanisms by which BNIP3 decreases lipid droplet content through promoting mitophagy and lipophagy, particularly in the...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), will support research at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center to examine the role of the mitochondrial protein SLC25A25 in the onset and progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH)....
This Project Grant award of $1,508,800.00, provided by 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 conducted by The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) to elucidate the role of somatic genetics in chronic liver disease pathways. The research aims to 1) identify adaptive genetic pathways specific to liver disease etiologies,...
This 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), provides $938,470 to the University of Massachusetts Medical School to investigate a novel adipokine that may resolve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in mouse models. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028. The research aims...
This federal Project Grant award of $675,660.00 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The award was granted to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) to conduct research focused on understanding the regulation and requirements for coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis, and how dysregulation of CoA synthesis is related to metabolic diseases...
This $409,375 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The award supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to understand the contribution of hepatic fatty acid oxidation to hepatic and systemic metabolic homeostasis. The research aims to describe novel requirements and signaling roles of hepatic fatty acid oxidation that...
This federal Project Grant award of $824,655 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The funding supports research at the University of Illinois to investigate the molecular and regulatory mechanisms by which growth hormone and sex-dependent transcription factors protect the liver from metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease...
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $707,389 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The grant, awarded on August 15, 2024, will fund a study titled "Targeting Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease During the Reproductive Period to Improve Women's Health Outcomes." The study aims to evaluate the evolution of nonalcoholic...
This Project Grant award of $272,133 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research by the University of Pennsylvania on the role of lipid droplet proteins in regulating eicosanoid production and their impact on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The research aims to study common genetic variants in two lipid droplet proteins - PNPLA3-I148M and PLIN2-PRO251 - to...
This three-year, $3.13 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences will fund research at Michigan State University investigating the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Specifically, the grant will test the hypothesis that activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor by environmental contaminants reprograms fatty acid metabolism, causing the accumulation of toxic lipid intermediates that contribute to...

This 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 on the role of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) in protecting hepatocytes (liver cells) from injury associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The $1,150,678 award to the Regents of the University of Michigan will fund a 4-year project to investigate the mechanism by which ACLY nuclear translocation, regulated by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and R-spondin signaling, confers hepatoprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in steatotic (fatty) liver. The research aims to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying this novel metabolic pathway for liver protection, with the goal of advancing scientific understanding of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and identifying potential therapeutic targets.
