This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will provide $937,468 to Northwestern University to understand the pathological mechanisms of sulfur mustard gas keratopathy (MGK) in the cornea. The research aims to explore how corneal mustard exposure induces autophagy, a cellular process that can play detrimental roles, via liberating the protein Beclin1 from the Beclin1-Bcl2 complex. The project will conduct in vitro and in...
This $589,071 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) is funding research to investigate the immune mechanisms driving chronic ocular damage after acute exposure to nitrogen mustard, a potent chemical warfare agent. The key objectives are to: (1) determine how the acute innate corneal response to mustard exposure activates a persistent pathogenic T-helper 17 (Th17) immune response, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) program provides $498,248 to the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying corneal and retinal injury caused by exposure to chemical threat agents like nitrogen mustard. The key objectives are to: 1) Examine the role of the p53-PAD axis in driving corneal hypercitrullination, a pathological response, after nitrogen...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health's Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will provide $482,242 to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to conduct research on the mechanisms of mustard gas toxicity in the retina using a minipig model. The project aims to characterize the in vivo clinical, structural, and functional changes in the retina of a minipig model exposed to mustard gas, and identify molecular targets involved in retinal degenerative...
This Project Grant award by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $583,250 to The Schepens Eye Research Institute, Inc. to identify the mechanisms underlying ocular toxicity caused by nitrogen mustard exposure and evaluate specialized lipid mediators as potential medical countermeasures. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine how nitrogen mustard alters the function of conjunctival goblet cells and if...
This $393,750.00 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) will fund a 5-year research project to explore the fundamental cellular mechanisms driving cellular senescence in macrophages. The key objectives of this research project are to gain a deeper understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying senescent macrophage biology. This includes investigating the roles...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to gain a mechanistic understanding of the role of cellular senescence in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The $460,625 grant will fund research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School to dissect the separate P53/P21 and P16 senescence pathways and their functional consequences in AD using human induced pluripotent stem cell-based models. The 2-year project will produce...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to investigate the role of myeloid cells in axon damage and degeneration associated with glaucoma. The research aims to determine whether NAD+-boosting interventions, which have shown promise in promoting axon protection, work through an anti-inflammatory mechanism by inhibiting myeloid cell recruitment. The award provides $423,767.00 over a 2-year period...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides funding of $1,426,622 to The Washington University to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying corneal injuries caused by ammonia exposure. The key objectives are to: Correlate the delayed corneal wound regeneration with the extent of corneal nerve degradation in mouse models, and quantify the associated ocular pain behaviors. Delineate the activating mechanism of corneal sensory...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $317,239 to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) to investigate conserved inflammatory mechanisms of vesicant-induced skin injury. The research aims to map the distribution of transcriptional pathways and biomediators associated with localized damage from exposure to sulfur mustard and lewisite vesicants using...
