This Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837) provides $480,990 to the University of Illinois to investigate the role of aerocytes, a specialized capillary endothelial cell population, in regulating alveolar epithelial regeneration following lung injury. The research aims to establish aerocytes as central regulators of alveolar regeneration, with a focus on the signaling...
This $873,736 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will support research to validate the use of the end tidal alveolar dead space fraction (AVDSF) as a risk stratification marker for mortality in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The research aims to determine if AVDSF can identify patient subgroups that may benefit from inhaled nitric oxide (INO) therapy, and explore...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $827,682 to The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) to develop a comprehensive imaging approach to characterize lung perfusion and guide treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The project will leverage expertise in dynamic contrast-enhanced and dual-energy CT imaging, as well as electrical impedance tomography, to assess pulmonary blood flow and volume in animal models and human ARDS patients. The goal is to demonstrate that manipulating pulmonary perfusion can mitigate ARDS progression by protecting the capillary barrier and reducing capillary stress failure. The award period runs from July 2024 through June 2029.
