Project Grant R01HL181470
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $106,391 to the University of Colorado-Denver to investigate the role of developmental dysanapsis in lung development over the lifespan in an experimental bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) model. The research aims to determine whether intra-amniotic endotoxin causes persistent dysanaptic growth of the airways, distal parenchyma, and vasculature in BPD, and...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $586,637 to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to conduct research into the mechanisms of immune dysregulation that contribute to the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (PH). The research aims to identify how chronic hypoxia causes a decrease in regulatory T cells (Tregs) and promotes the development of self-reactive T helper 17 (Th17) cells that target...
- This Project Grant award of $497,628.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research into pulmonary vagal sensory neurons and their role in breathing abnormalities associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. The research aims to elucidate the dose- and duration-dependent effects of neonatal hyperoxia exposure on breathing control and the functional roles of distinct populations of...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $586,021 to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to establish patient-reported outcome measures that refine neonatal risk stratification and identify barriers to post-discharge specialty care for preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal is to identify hospital-to-home transition strategies that reduce post-prematurity respiratory...
- This Project Grant award of $715,180 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to understand the epigenetic regulation of trained immunity in thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections. The objective is to determine how monocytes/macrophages in the aortic wall are trained to exhibit a pro-inflammatory phenotype, with the goal of identifying key pathways driving this process. The research will be conducted by Baylor...
- This $775,992 Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate the role of regulatory T cells and glucocorticoids in the resolution of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The research aims to determine how glucocorticoid signaling through regulatory T cells impacts the recovery of lung structure and function following...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research provides $750,162 to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to conduct research aimed at understanding the role of lymphatic dysfunction in the development of post-lung transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a serious complication. The research project will use murine models to investigate the mechanisms of lymphatic vascular function after...
- 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 Program 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $730,070 to the University of Arizona to develop and test a novel class of hybrid polyplex nanoparticles (P22-F1 PBAE/PEI/PEG) that can specifically target and deliver DNA plasmids to lung capillary endothelial cells. The goal is to stimulate lung regeneration and decrease pulmonary hypertension in mouse and rat models of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a severe...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $773,868 to Baylor College of Medicine to elucidate the mechanisms regulating inflammation and the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia-associated pulmonary hypertension (BPD-PH). The award aims to use well-established murine models and human biosamples to examine the mechanistic and therapeutic potential of Tregs in BPD-PH. The project also investigates the interactions between Tregs and lung endothelial cells, evaluating the impact of Treg depletion on endothelial cell density and the expression of the pro-angiogenic hormone adrenomedullin. This 5-year award, effective September 1, 2025, supports research to advance the scientific understanding of BPD-PH pathogenesis and explore potential therapeutic approaches targeting Treg-mediated regulation of lung inflammation and vascular development.
