Project Grant R03DK143116
- This federal Project Grant award of $524,837 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) is supporting research to investigate the role of enteric glial mechanotransduction and the impact of mechanical stress on postoperative ileus (POI) and postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (POGD). The research aims to better understand the pathogenic mechanisms of POI in...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), through its Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), awarded a $784,966 project grant to Brandeis University to investigate the sensory functions of pharyngeal enteric neurons in the nematode C. elegans. The 5-year project, starting on Sep 15, 2025 and ending on Jun 30, 2030, aims to study how enteric neurons detect and respond to internal chemical and mechanical cues, and how...
- The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded a $152,205 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of California San Francisco under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant funds research to investigate how vagal sensory neurons regulate autonomic responses to achieve metabolic homeostasis, and how downstream neuronal circuits in the nucleus tractus solitarius integrate...
- This $2,557,146 Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The award was made to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education (UEI: WLDGTNCFFJZ3), operating through the University of Nevada, Reno, and will fund research to explore novel targets for gastrointestinal hormones and neuropeptides in the regulation of...
- This Project Grant award of $666,229 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research on the role of the neuropeptide neurotensin (NTS) in the lateral nucleus accumbens (NACLat) to ventral tegmental area (VTA) pathway and its impact on hedonic feeding behavior. The project aims to study how NTS signaling in this neural pathway modulates reward-related feeding in mice, both on...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) provides $594,956 to the University of South Florida to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying stretch-evoked activation of esophageal vagal afferents. The goal is to determine the mechanosensitive channels and sodium channels responsible for transducing esophageal stretch into vagal afferent...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $502,233, was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate neuron populations in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) that mediate the aversive and non-aversive suppression of food intake. The research aims to further...
- This $224,088 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The award aims to investigate the physiological regulation of energy intake at meals following weight loss. The research will leverage data from two ongoing NIDDK-funded studies - the ARROW study, which examines predictors of long-term weight loss maintenance, and the...
- This $2,560,698 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research to investigate the mechanisms by which animals learn about the nutrient content of foods and the neural pathways involved, with a particular focus on the lateralization of dopamine release in the brain. The research aims to reveal how...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to investigate how the sympathetic nervous system regulates ghrelin secretion. The $637,124 grant, awarded to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, will fund a 5-year research project to determine how fasting and exercise impact the sympathetic...
The federal Project Grant award for $236,250 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847), titled "Nutrient Regulation of the EEC-Vagal Network", will support research conducted by The Ohio State University to study the molecular mechanisms and environmental factors regulating the connection between enteroendocrine cells (EECs) and the vagal sensory nerve in the intestine. The proposed study will use zebrafish models and in vivo imaging to directly visualize the dynamic EEC-vagal synaptic communication, with a focus on understanding how nutrients and feeding dynamically regulate brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling in CCK-expressing EECs to remodel the intestinal vagal network. The research aims to improve understanding of gut-brain nutrient sensing and provide insights that could lead to new approaches for treating feeding dysfunction and metabolic disorders.
