This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $143,331 to Wayne State University to investigate the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure on male reproductive health. The research aims to use single-cell RNA sequencing and characterization of epididymosomes (extracellular vesicles in the epididymis) to understand how PFAS exposure affects spermatogenesis...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Wayne State University a 3-year, $1,644,161 Project Grant under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to study the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on atherosclerosis and cholesterol metabolism. The project aims to determine if PFAS mixtures accelerate atherosclerosis in a mouse model, assess how PFAS disrupts bile acid reuptake and leads to increased cholesterol levels, and evaluate the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) provides $546,350 to support research on the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The primary objectives are to: 1) define the chemical interactions that mediate neuronal uptake and accumulation of PFAS, 2) elucidate the neurotoxic effects of PFAS and their mixtures in vitro and in...
This $171,064 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health program, supports research on how polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) affect the crosstalk between adipocytes (fat cells) and macrophages (immune cells) in adipose tissue. The research aims to determine how PCB exposure alters this adipocyte-macrophage communication, leading to metabolic disruption and inflammation. The 2.5-year project,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) provides $1,651,801 to Wayne State University to investigate the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure on susceptibility to infection-mediated preterm birth. The key objectives are to: Determine if maternal PFAS exposure leads to decreased interferon (IFN) signaling and placental toxicity. Analyze changes in placental...
This Project Grant award of $499,454.23 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to develop edible sorbent therapies that can mitigate dietary exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals." The project aims to create multicomponent sorbents derived from naturally occurring or generally recognized as safe materials that can effectively reduce...
This $719,892 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) on April 25, 2025, will support research by New York University School of Medicine to investigate the impact of prenatal and postnatal exposure to phthalates and bisphenols on infant reproductive development during "minipuberty" - a critical early life period. The project will analyze maternal urine, infant urine and serum, and maternal breast milk...
The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded a $924,612 Project Grant to the California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant will fund research from August 2022 to July 2025 to advance chemical risk assessment and predictive toxicology through the development, validation and integration of high-throughput mechanistic in vitro assays. Specifically, the grantee will...
This Project Grant award of $474,639 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program is supporting research to enhance the understanding of the health effects of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mixtures. The project aims to develop innovative spatial and tensor-based causal inference methods to address key challenges in observational PFAS studies, including spatial dependence, various sources of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $389,229 to assess the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on intestinal health. The project will leverage 3D human and mouse intestinal models to examine how different plastic particle characteristics and exposure durations impact gut homeostasis, inflammation, and the role of specialized microfold (M) cells in mediating immune...
