The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $840,198 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. (Dfci) in Boston, MA. The goal of this 4-year project is to better understand the mechanisms of energy expenditure and adipose thermogenesis in mammalian systems, with a focus on the futile creatine cycle pathway. Key objectives include determining how...
This Project Grant award of $604,853 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 Rockefeller University to elucidate the genetic determinants of human brown adipose tissue (BAT) function. The goal is to develop a better understanding of how BAT, which can protect against obesity and associated metabolic diseases, is regulated in humans. The research will leverage...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research, provides $1,152,102 to the University of California, Berkeley to study a potential new enhancer for the UCP1 gene, which is critical for activating thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. The research aims to elucidate the role of this enhancer and an associated transcription factor in regulating UCP1...

This 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 determine the structural basis of thermogenic mitochondrial respiratory complexes and their role in adipocyte function, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. The $813,511 award to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. will fund a 4-year research project to: 1) Characterize the structure of brown fat mitochondrial respiratory megacomplexes during adaptation to cold temperatures and high-calorie diets; 2) Analyze the structural changes in respiratory complexes in beige fat during cold or beta-3 agonist exposure; and 3) Examine mitochondrial and respiratory megacomplex lipid composition under thermogenic conditions. The goal is to provide unprecedented structural insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhanced respiratory capacity that supports adipocyte thermogenesis and energy expenditure, with implications for obesity and type 2 diabetes management.
