- This $3,255,832 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) will support research at the University of Chicago to investigate the role of macrophages in weight loss-induced metabolic health and adipose tissue inflammation resolution. The project aims to determine the phenotype, function, and transcriptome of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue macrophages across mouse and human models, as well as test strategies like cell...
- This federal Project Grant award of $246,750.00 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), with a project period from August 15, 2025 to August 14, 2027. The award supports research by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate how obesity affects the function of macrophages and T cells in the pancreas, and their role...
- This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $1,428,186.00 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), to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) in Massachusetts. The project aims to investigate the role of CYP4F enzymes in regulating N-acyl amino acid signaling in humans, which has implications for understanding the early...
- This federal Project Grant award of $464,985, 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 on extracellular vesicles released by adipocytes (fat cells) and their potential role in cardiometabolic disease. The research, conducted by The Washington University, aims to investigate how these adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicles, including...
- This Project Grant award of $484,625.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) is supporting research into the spatiotemporal regulation of organelle interactions and metabolism. The principal investigator at The Washington University aims to gain a mechanistic understanding of lipid metabolism, particularly the role of lipid droplets in metabolic diseases like insulin resistance, obesity, and...
- This federal 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 $734,612.00 to conduct research on the mechanisms through which stress and obesity reprogram monocyte and macrophage populations in response to elevated glucocorticoid levels. The research aims to elucidate how glucocorticoids induced by early-life stress and diet-induced...
- This $2,971,227 federal Project Grant, awarded on September 4, 2025 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 the role of fatty acids in regulating cellular metabolism and protein synthesis in the context of fasting, inflammation, and metabolic diseases. The research aims to uncover novel signaling pathways through which fatty...
- This $108,486 Project Grant award, funded 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 identify novel immune markers associated with obesity-driven diseases. The objective is to utilize novel tools to study the inter-organ communication pathway between the intestine and adipose tissue immune cells. The research leverages a Cre-inducible...
- This federal 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 $176,500.00 to the University of Washington to investigate the links between hypothalamic microglia activation and perineuronal net (PNN) loss in the arcuate nucleus, and how these changes contribute to the pathogenesis of diet-induced obesity and glucose regulation. The...
- This $2,638,760.00 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 research aims to investigate a novel mechanism involving the metabolite rhodoquinone (RQ) and its potential role in improving mitochondrial function and mitigating metabolic diseases caused by obesity. Specifically, the project will elucidate how the RQ/fumarate...
This $233,250 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research to understand how macrophage branched chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism contributes to obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. The project, led by The Washington University, will investigate the role of the enzyme protein phosphatase 1K (PPM1K) in regulating macrophage BCAA metabolism and activation in the context of metabolic disease. The research aims to elucidate pathways controlling macrophage function to develop new therapeutic options for improving outcomes in individuals affected by obesity and related conditions. The award period runs from September 15, 2025 through August 31, 2027.
