This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $480,990 to the University of Illinois to investigate the role of aerocytes, a specialized capillary endothelial cell population, in promoting alveolar epithelial regeneration following lung injury. The research aims to establish the central regulatory function of aerocyte-derived signaling, particularly the angiocrine factor R-spondin3, in guiding alveolar regeneration and macrophage plasticity after acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and other lung injuries. The findings could lead to innovative therapeutic strategies for treating ARDS and improving outcomes for individuals affected by severe respiratory complications, including those related to COVID-19. The award period runs from January 16, 2025 to November 30, 2028.
