Project Grant R01HL179522
- This Project Grant award for $814,387 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) is supporting research to investigate the role of a novel subpopulation of innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) in lung infections and vascular regeneration. The award recipient, The Trustees of Columbia University, will utilize mouse models, single-cell analysis, and in vitro assays to: Define the tissue niche and response dynamics of lung vascular ILC3s (VILC3s),...
- This federal Project Grant award of $248,999 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research on mesenchymal cell plasticity and signaling in lung regeneration. The award aims to examine how specific mesenchymal cell lineages establish and maintain maladaptive epithelial regeneration after severe lung injury, such as from influenza or COVID-19. Key objectives include investigating the proliferation, plasticity, and Notch...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $701,795 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research aimed at defining the cardinal functions of lung progenitors during regeneration. The 4-year project, which began in September 2025, utilizes a multi-modal approach including cell lineage tracing, single-cell analysis, histological spatial analysis, and cross-species comparison to...
- This federal Project Grant award for $637,913, provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research by the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate the role of "transitional alveolar epithelial cells" in lung development and regeneration. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms underlying the alveolar epithelial cell differentiation process during normal lung development, as...
- This $229,608 Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research investigating the role of pleural mesothelial cells in lung injury, repair, and regeneration. The award to Mayo Clinic aims to conduct lineage-tracing experiments in mouse models of lung injury and regeneration, and subsequent genomic analysis of the collected pleural mesothelial cells. This research seeks to improve the understanding of repair...
- The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), through its Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $172,724 project grant to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on February 28, 2025. The grant supports research to investigate the epigenetic signatures and gene regulatory networks driving the trans-differentiation of alveolar type II (AT2) cells into airway-like basal cells under homeostatic conditions and in the context of fibrotic...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $166,395 to Columbia University to conduct a 5-year research project on the impact of hyperoxia (excess oxygen) on the function of respiratory progenitor cells in neonates. The project aims to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms by which post-natal lung development occurs in the face of injurious agents like oxygen...
- 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...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $594,583 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Institute. The grant supports research to investigate the mechanisms regulating the development, expansion, and decline of neonatal lung myofibroblasts and their role in alveologenesis. Key objectives include utilizing a novel murine model to study myofibroblast lineage, characterize...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) will support research into the role of post-transcriptional RNA modifications in lung development and regeneration. The $768,985 award, effective September 1, 2025 through June 30, 2029, will enable researchers at Columbia University's Health Sciences Division to study how the METTL3/14 complex-mediated RNA modifications, including on the SOX9 transcript, regulate lung epithelial differentiation during development and alveolar regeneration. The project aims to provide insights into the normal mechanisms controlling lung development and regeneration following injury. Key activities will include mouse genetics studies, transcriptomic analyses, and investigations into the conservation of these post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in human lung progenitor cells.
