- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $817,208 to The Broad Institute, Inc. to investigate the genetic basis and underlying mechanisms of heart failure. The research leverages high-throughput cellular analysis techniques, including cell painting and Perturb-seq, to functionally characterize genetic variants associated with heart failure risk. The goal is to rapidly...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $159,512.00 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to conduct research on ameliorating cardiac fibrosis using human cardiac organoid models. The project aims to discover treatments for cardiac fibrosis, a hallmark of dilated cardiomyopathy, by validating potential compounds identified in a prior high-throughput screen using complex 3D cardiac organoids...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $655,636 in funding to the Texas Heart Institute (THI) to investigate the role of cardiac fibroblasts in the development of heart failure in patients with single ventricle congenital heart disease. The objectives are to gain insights into the intrinsic molecular mechanisms that promote cellular senescence, metabolic remodeling, and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Albert Einstein College of Medicine provides $785,198 in funding to study the role of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) in regulating cardiac fibroblast and myofibroblast function during heart repair following myocardial infarction. The research aims to investigate how CMA, a selective protein degradation process, modulates fibroblast phenotypic transitions and impacts...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $540,856 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on Dec 15, 2024. The goal of this 4-year project is to identify transcriptional regulators that control endocardial-specific gene expression and valve development, as well as understand the regulation and function of the SLC16A2 gene during heart injury and regeneration. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to the University of Utah provides $745,663 to investigate the role of the IRE1 protein in regulating cardiac fibrosis, a key mechanism underlying heart failure. The research aims to elucidate how the unfolded protein response (UPR) in cardiac fibroblasts affects their activation and production of extracellular matrix proteins during the progression of both reduced and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $740,037, funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research on the regulation of angiogenesis (blood vessel formation) by cardiac fibroblasts following myocardial infarction. The key objectives are to investigate the temporal and spatial expression of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors secreted by cardiac fibroblasts to support cardiac repair and increase vascular...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $811,885 in funding to the J. David Gladstone Institutes in California to conduct research on epigenomic mechanisms of cardiac fibrosis and heart failure. The project aims to investigate the role of the MEOX1 gene as a key transcriptional regulator of fibroblast activation, fibrosis, and heart failure pathogenesis. The research leverages novel genetic mouse models, cell lines, and advanced transcriptional, epigenomic, and computational approaches. The award period runs from September 12, 2025 to May 31, 2029. The findings from this project have the potential to lead to more targeted therapies for heart failure, which is a significant unmet clinical need.
