Project Grant R03AA032324
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) provides $440,566 to Yale University to advance the treatment of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The primary objective is to uncover therapeutic targets and develop effective ALD treatments, with a focus on the methyltransferase-like (METTL) protein family, notably METTL7A, which is highly expressed in ALD patients. The research utilizes cutting-edge technology...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $601,129 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University (CCLCM). The project, titled "Alcohol and Gut-Brain Axis and the Role of Butyrate on Neuroinflammation and Pain Sensitivity", aims to investigate the relationship between alcohol use disorder, chronic pain, and the gut microbiome, with a focus on the role of...
- The federal Project Grant award titled "Role of Functional Iron Deficiency in Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease" is funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273). The $390,480 award, effective from September 10, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will support research at Emory University to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying alcohol-associated mitochondrial dysfunction and its role in the progression of...
- This $202,176 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs) aims to develop novel machine learning tools and spatial transcriptomic approaches to accurately diagnose and predict the severity of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), and the emerging mixed-etiology disease metabolic syndrome-associated alcoholic liver disease (METALD). The grant recipient,...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $253,383 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Yale University to explore the role of the hepatocyte inflammasome in alcoholic liver disease (ALD). This research aims to investigate the liver-specific effects of the inflammasome, a key mediator of inflammation, in hepatocytes - the predominant liver cell type and a driver of ALD pathophysiology. The project will use mouse models to evaluate...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs), supports research to determine the molecular mechanism by which the neutrophilic NCF1 gene and its downstream target miR-223 impact the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The $249,000 project, awarded to the Trustees of Indiana University, will investigate how neutrophils drive disease severity and mediate liver injury in ALD through the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $701,051 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273). The grant supports research to investigate the phenotypes and functions of distinct neutrophil populations in patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). Key objectives include: 1) Characterizing the transcriptomic profiles and functional roles of neutrophil subsets in AH using single-cell RNA sequencing; 2)...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $404,250 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. The grant, awarded on September 23, 2025 with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027, supports research to explore the role of margaric acid in alcohol-associated liver diseases (AALD). The project aims to determine if margaric acid supplementation can attenuate alcohol-induced gut and liver...
- This federal Project Grant award of $3,182,397.00 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The grant aims to characterize the role of host gut proteases, particularly cathepsin B, and the immune response in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) in both a human cohort and a mouse model. The research seeks to determine how alcohol-mediated induction of...
- This Project Grant award of $123,045.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) supports research on the role of the TRAF3IP2 protein in the development of alcohol-related cardiomyopathy. The project will investigate whether alcohol-induced cardiac fibroblast activation, proinflammatory cytokine expression, and extracellular matrix changes are dependent on TRAF3IP2, and whether deleting the TRAF3IP2 gene prevents alcohol-induced...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $161,000.00 to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. The award supports research to investigate the metabolic basis of sarcopenia, or loss of muscle mass, in alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). The key research objectives include using multi-omics analyses to identify global skeletal muscle perturbations in ALD, and leveraging tracer studies to determine the mechanisms behind reduced levels of the critical TCA cycle metabolite alpha-ketoglutarate in skeletal muscle. The award period runs from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2027. This research aims to enhance understanding of the mechanistic underpinnings of sarcopenia, which is a significant clinical consequence and independent contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients with liver disease, including those with ALD.
