This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $799,354 to Northwestern University to conduct research on the role of necroptosis, a form of cell death, in primary graft dysfunction (PGD) following lung transplantation.

The research aims to comprehensively investigate the contribution of necroptosis pathways in both the recipient's native lungs and the donor lungs to the development of PGD, a severe complication impacting over half of lung transplant recipients. The two key objectives are: 1) exploring the role of autocrine necroptosis in recipient lung monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages, and 2) examining necroptosis in donor lung tissue induced by mitochondrial reactive oxygen species during the transplantation process. The overarching goal is to develop targeted interventions to mitigate the risk of PGD arising from necroptotic processes in both the donor and recipient lungs. The award period extends from September 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029.
