This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under CFDA Program 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, aims to identify the molecular mechanisms linking lactation to metabolism. The $751,710.10 award, granted on August 15, 2024, will fund investigations to understand the effect of maternal gestational diabetes on mammary epithelial cell (MEC) progenitor insulin signaling and MEC profiles, as...
This Project Grant award of $147,486, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA Program 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, aims to investigate the role of the placenta-brain axis in Down Syndrome (DS) development. The research, conducted by The Johns Hopkins University, will examine how increased dosage of human chromosome 21 genes, specifically APP and SOD1, impact placental function and the secretion of neuroactive...
This Project Grant award of $601,499 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support research to investigate the impact of maternal obesity on mitochondrial function and offspring obesity development. The key objectives of this 5-year grant are to: 1) Determine if transfer of damaged mitochondrial cargo from circulating adipocyte extracellular vesicles (EVs) of obese...
The University of Colorado-Denver was awarded a $226,608 Project Grant by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant will fund research to identify the mechanism by which fetal glucagon regulates placental nutrient delivery as an adaptive mechanism for matching nutrient supply to fetal metabolic demand under adverse uterine conditions. 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...
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), is providing $2,468,757 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess maternal and fetal pancreas size and growth over the course of pregnancy. The research aims to establish a model for how maternal pancreas growth interacts with the...
This $448,441 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will support research at Emory University to investigate the role of mediobasal hypothalamic gliosis in gestational weight gain and visceral fat accretion. The primary aim is to provide foundational data on a potential neural mechanism underlying dysregulated or pathological weight gain during...

The key objectives are to use CRISPR-Cas9 genetic tools to manipulate the expression of the mitochondrial...
This 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) aims to quantify the impact of hyperglycemia on embryonic metabolism and development in C. elegans. The $474,878 award to the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio will support a 2-year research project to generate single-cell resolution data on how embryonic metabolism changes over developmental...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), is providing $121,515 to Duke University to investigate nuclear plasticity in the human placental syncytium during pregnancy. The research aims to: 1) Determine the mechanism of nuclear subtype adaptation in the syncytiotrophoblast (STB) cell during stress, and 2) Map the unique...

This Project Grant award of $765,571 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will fund research to investigate placental essential fatty acid (EFA) metabolism in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), with a focus on examining sexual dimorphism in cellular responses. The research aims to define the mechanisms underlying differential responses of male and female placentas to the GDM metabolic environment, particularly examining the role of the essential fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The award will utilize advanced metabolome-informed proteome imaging (MIPI) technology to analyze placental tissue sections and conduct complementary studies on male and female trophoblast cell cultures from lean, obese, and GDM pregnancies. This technically and conceptually innovative work may lead to the establishment of fetal sex-specific therapeutic approaches for pregnancies affected by maternal obesity and GDM.
