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 $243,590 to the University of Chicago to investigate the role of the protein BNIP3 in regulating lipid homeostasis in the liver. The goal is to define the mechanisms by which BNIP3 influences the accumulation of lipid droplets, which is a key factor in the development of non-alcoholic...
This $1,596,244 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) will fund research at Rutgers University to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which a high-fat diet suppresses calcium signaling in the liver. The proposed research aims to: 1) Identify how high-fat diet impairs calcium signaling in hepatocytes through the activation of novel protein kinase C isoforms,...
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 $130,607 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the role of peroxisomal PEX family proteins in hepatic bile acid and lipid metabolism. The research aims to dissect how the loss of PEX6 and PEX14 proteins impacts lipid homeostasis and inter-organelle crosstalk...

The primary awardee, The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, will use advanced in vivo imaging technologies and genetic...
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 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), will support research into the role of the unfolded protein response (XBP1 pathway) in regulating bile acid metabolism during cholestatic liver disorders. The $1,170,271 award to Northwestern University, spanning from December 2024 to November 2028, aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which XBP1...

The federal Project Grant award R01DK140159, 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), aims to investigate the potential of a novel adipokine in resolving non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in animal models. The $469,235 award, with a start date of September 1, 2024, and an ultimate completion date of June 30,...

This $1,521,924 Project Grant 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) will fund research at the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) architecture in metabolic homeostasis and metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). The key objectives are to: 1) delineate the requirement of RRBP1-driven rough ER sheet-mitochondria interaction for hepatocyte adaptation to nutritional challenges; 2) unravel the mechanisms through which rough ER sheet-mitochondria interactions regulate organelle function; and 3) determine the importance of ER architectural remodeling for the development of diet-induced fatty liver disease. This research aims to uncover how cellular organelle architecture and dynamics impact metabolic regulation, with the potential to identify new therapeutic targets for treating fatty liver disease.
