- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $1,061,189 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on immune crosstalk in lung injury and fibrosis. The key objectives are to study epithelial cell regulation of fibrosis and its interaction with myeloid cells, uncover mechanisms for impaired innate immunity against gram-positive infections in fibrosis, test delivery of targeted therapeutics...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research on the role of protein S-palmitoylation in TGF-beta signaling and fibrotic lung disease at Duke University. The $165,456 grant awarded on August 15, 2025 will fund a 5-year project to investigate how S-palmitoylation of the TGF-beta receptor regulates its activity and fibrotic pathways, and the potential for targeting related...
- This $1,831,848 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to investigate how early-life disruptions to gut microbiota colonization can remodel the development of lung immune and epithelial cells, contributing to chronic respiratory diseases. The research aims to identify the critical window and key microbial taxa required for establishing long-term lung homeostasis. Preliminary data indicates that...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), supports research on how tissue elasticity and viscosity modulate the signaling between macrophages and fibroblasts in cardiac fibrosis. The $231,552 award, granted to the University of California, San Diego, will fund research to investigate the effects of mechanical stimuli on macrophage-fibroblast interactions and explore the role of a changing mechanical...
- The Project Grant award titled "Alveolar Epithelial Stress Signaling in Lung Fibrosis" is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) for $683,564.00 over the period of Jul 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2030. The award supports comprehensive research focused on understanding the role of aberrant alveolar epithelial cells in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis, a devastating and progressive lung disease. The research aims to investigate...
- The federal Project Grant award of $678,803.00 was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to The Ohio State University. The funding supports research to investigate the role of the mitochondrial deubiquitinase USP30 in regulating microvascular endothelial cell function and its potential as a therapeutic target for acute inflammatory diseases like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. Key...
- The federal Project Grant award of $108,978.00 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to investigate the mechanisms underlying the age-related decline in the regenerative capacity of alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells in the lung. The principal investigator and research team at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health will conduct studies to determine whether elevated interferon gamma (IFNG) levels and changes in resident...
- This Project Grant award of $807,067.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) will support a study to pioneer the quantitative documentation of human respiratory kinematic profiles. The study aims to address a critical gap in contemporary physiological monitoring - the inability to quantify labored breathing, which contains vital prognostic information not captured by conventional monitoring. Building on a recent innovation called ARK...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research into the mechanosensitive mechanisms underlying angiogenesis and lung regeneration. The $618,838 award to the Medical College of Wisconsin aims to investigate how mechanical stretching forces control angiogenesis during compensatory lung growth after pneumonectomy. The research will focus on the role of the focal adhesion protein paxillin in regulating...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $107,752 to Duke University to investigate the mechanisms of lung fibrosis. The research aims to evaluate epithelial cell-fibroblast interactions contributing to fibroblast activation through the CTHRC1-TGFβ signaling pathway, in the context of bronchiolitis obliterans and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The 2-year project leverages Duke's...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $518,613.00 and granted by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research), supports research to define the molecular basis of thrombospondin-1-induced fibro-fatty diaphragm remodeling, a driver of obesity-associated respiratory dysfunction. The research, conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan, aims to investigate the role of the matricellular protein thrombospondin-1 in promoting fibrogenic changes in mesenchymal cells within the obese diaphragm, leading to impaired respiratory function. The project will utilize cell and tissue-based systems, genetically engineered mouse models, and human subject studies to test the hypothesis that targeting thrombospondin-1 can mitigate diaphragm weakness and respiratory dysfunction associated with obesity. The award period runs from September 12, 2025 to June 30, 2030.
