This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA Program 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $480,990 to the University of Illinois to conduct research on the role of aerocytes, a recently identified capillary endothelial cell population, in regulating alveolar regeneration following lung injury. The research aims to establish the central role of aerocytes and the signaling molecule R-spondin3 in guiding regenerative alveolar remodeling, with the...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $762,405.80 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program to the University of South Alabama. The grant, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, supports research to investigate the role of the cell-free hemoglobin-oxidized LDL-LOX-1 axis in driving microvascular hyperpermeability and lung injury during sepsis. The project aims to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which...
This $739,362 Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to investigate a novel genetic variant in the COQ6 gene and its role in increasing susceptibility to Streptococcus pneumoniae sepsis. The research aims to re-evaluate the immune-centric model of sepsis by exploring how this genetic variant disrupts mitochondrial function and metabolic remodeling, leading to hyperinflammation and organ damage. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $759,983.00 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate neutrophil function and the lung microenvironment during Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia and acute lung injury. The study aims to determine how neutrophils change as they are recruited and function during pneumonia, compare neutrophils defined by specific criteria, and examine changes...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $392,660 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to investigate the role of red blood cells (RBCs) in regulating the inflammatory response during sepsis. The study aims to establish the subcellular localization of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) in human RBCs, determine RBC-TLR7's RNA-sequestration capabilities during sepsis, and define the...
The National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded a $511,680 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837).

This $598,228 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum autophagy (ER-phagy) in the immune response during sepsis. The research team at the University of Illinois will use state-of-the-art methods to define the mechanisms by which ER-phagy regulates the NLRP3 inflammasome activation and cytokine release in macrophages, ultimately contributing to lung injury during sepsis. The findings have significant potential to inform the development of novel therapeutic strategies for this life-threatening condition. The grant's period of performance runs from September 2024 through May 2029.
