Key objectives include utilizing a novel murine model to study myofibroblast lineage, characterize...
- This Project Grant award for $879,567.00, funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research on lung injury in pediatric hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. The research team at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) will conduct a comprehensive characterization of the clinical, proteomic, and cell-free DNA biomarker profiles associated with the development of lung injury after HCT in...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $657,308 to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to conduct research on the CXCL12 signaling axis and its role in pulmonary arterial heterogeneity, development, and disease. The key objectives of this 12-month project are to: 1) define the spatiotemporal role of CXCL12 signaling in pulmonary vascular development, 2)...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $180,174 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. The grant will fund a study to develop a framework for designing the next generation of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) clinical trials. Key objectives include: 1) Comparing heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) analysis methodologies in a trial of pediatric...
- This federal Project Grant award of $123,000.00 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to investigate the role of the Hedgehog signaling pathway in regulating progenitor cell differentiation during lung development and its potential contribution to lung diseases like COPD and IPF. The project will analyze existing single-cell data from mouse and human lungs to: 1) decipher the temporal control of Hedgehog signaling in regulating...
- This Project Grant award of $147,486 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to investigate the role of inflammatory signaling in the migration and function of ectopic KRT5+ cells during severe respiratory viral injuries. The research will assess whether canonical NF-kB signaling is necessary for the expansion and migration of these ectopic cells, which have been associated with the development of pulmonary fibrosis following viral...
- This $721,826 Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports research to identify molecular mechanisms regulating alveolar matrix fibroblast function and their role in supporting vascular capillary formation. The research is being conducted by Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio to advance the understanding of alveolar septation and septal wall maturation, which is...
- The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded a $719,882 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to elucidate lung-specific immune pathways driving post-hematopoietic cell transplant lung injury in children. The research aims to identify cellular and molecular targets for precision diagnostics and therapeutics. Specifically, the project will leverage bronchoalveolar lavage fluid...
- This Project Grant award for $702,103 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to systematically define the signaling pathways by which the protein SFTA2 interacts with the receptor ADGRF5 to control pulmonary surfactant homeostasis. The awardee, National Jewish Health, a non-profit research center in Colorado, will use cell-based assays and mouse genetics to test the hypothesis that SFTA2 regulates alveolar surfactant...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $629,498 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (UEI GM1XX56LEP58) to conduct research aimed at deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying pediatric interstitial lung disease (CHILD). The key objectives are to: Interrogate the anomalous development of the lung epithelium in CHILD by defining the impact of a specific SFTPC gene mutation on alveolar type 2 (AT2) cell postnatal development and function. Determine how the mutant SFTPC-expressing AT2 cells orchestrate the pathological changes in the lung that lead to the CHILD disease phenotype. This research leverages the awardee's established preclinical mouse model and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived AT2 cell lines to elucidate the molecular basis of CHILD and test potential gene-based therapeutic approaches. The award period runs from September 2025 through June 2030.
