This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $161,000.00 to support research investigating the role of the Connexin 43 (CX43) protein in regulating glioblastoma cancer stem cells. The research aims to elucidate how CX43 activates the WNK1 kinase to maintain the expression of the MYC transcription factor, which is critical for the proliferation, survival, and self-renewal of glioblastoma cancer stem cells. The award was made to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, a private academic medical institution, and has a performance period from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2026. The long-term goal of this project is to identify downstream signaling nodes that could be targeted for the development of new therapeutic options for patients with glioblastoma, the most common and deadly primary brain cancer.
