- This $3,065,252 federal Project Grant award 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 project aims to develop engineered metabolite-based nanoparticles for immunomodulation of macrophages to treat obesity, a critical health concern due to its links to metabolic diseases. The Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation, a non-profit research...
- This $2,559,138 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), supports research to define the mechanisms regulating adipose (fat) tissue metabolic memory and its role in rebound weight gain following obesity treatment. The project, led by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, aims to: 1) determine the role of LYVE1+ macrophages in...
- This $233,250 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research to understand how macrophage branched chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism contributes to obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. The project, led by The Washington University, will investigate the role of the enzyme protein phosphatase 1K (PPM1K) in regulating macrophage BCAA metabolism and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $246,750.00 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), with a project period from August 15, 2025 to August 14, 2027. The award supports research by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate how obesity affects the function of macrophages and T cells in the pancreas, and their role...
- 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 $734,612.00 to conduct research on the mechanisms through which stress and obesity reprogram monocyte and macrophage populations in response to elevated glucocorticoid levels. The research aims to elucidate how glucocorticoids induced by early-life stress and diet-induced...
- This $108,486 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), supports research to identify novel immune markers associated with obesity-driven diseases. The objective is to utilize novel tools to study the inter-organ communication pathway between the intestine and adipose tissue immune cells. The research leverages a Cre-inducible...
- This federal Project Grant award of $464,985, 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 on extracellular vesicles released by adipocytes (fat cells) and their potential role in cardiometabolic disease. The research, conducted by The Washington University, aims to investigate how these adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicles, including...
- This federal Project Grant award of $803,748 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 grant is funding research to investigate the modulation of insulin signaling in adipocytes (fat cells) and how improved adipocyte insulin sensitivity can contribute to positive metabolic outcomes. The research team at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical...
- This $221,252 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) aims to develop a drug delivery system that modulates adipose (fat) tissue function to enhance metabolism and promote weight management. The key products and services to be delivered under this 12-month grant include: Establishing a correlation between the physicochemical properties of engineered hybrid...
- This $2,638,760.00 Project Grant award 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 research aims to investigate a novel mechanism involving the metabolite rhodoquinone (RQ) and its potential role in improving mitochondrial function and mitigating metabolic diseases caused by obesity. Specifically, the project will elucidate how the RQ/fumarate...
This $3,255,832 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) will support research at the University of Chicago to investigate the role of macrophages in weight loss-induced metabolic health and adipose tissue inflammation resolution. The project aims to determine the phenotype, function, and transcriptome of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue macrophages across mouse and human models, as well as test strategies like cell therapy and nanomedicine to leverage pro-resolving macrophages to treat metabolic dysfunction in obese mice. The project runs from September 20, 2025 through September 19, 2029 and seeks to uncover new immunological pathways underlying weight loss-induced inflammation resolution that could inform novel obesity treatment approaches.
