Specifically,...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $513,294 to the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the role of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) in regulating beta-cell function and adaptation during pregnancy. The goal is to gain mechanistic insights into the etiology of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a common obstetrical complication. The research will characterize how IRS1 mediates beta-cell compensation for maternal insulin resistance, and how IRS1 deficiency impairs this adaptation, leading to GDM. The award period runs from August 1, 2025 to April 30, 2030. The findings from this research are expected to deepen the understanding of maternal beta-cell compensation during pregnancy and provide new insights into the causes of GDM.
