The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has awarded a $423,985 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Illinois to develop a novel non-invasive monitoring system for detecting placental dysfunction and associated pregnancy complications. The funding will support research to utilize extracellular vesicles (EVs) circulating in maternal blood as biomarkers, using a "target recycling...
The federal Project Grant award R21HD115868, totaling $429,000.00, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award supports research at Thomas Jefferson University, doing business as Sidney Kimmel Medical College, to develop a new ultrasound imaging tool called Subharmonic Aided Pressure Estimation (SHAPE) for assessing placental vascularization during pregnancy....
This Project Grant award of $1,829,617 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, aims to develop stem cell-based models to study placental defects associated with early-onset preeclampsia. The 5-year project, commencing on July 1, 2024, will pursue three key objectives: 1) Identify optimal stem cell methods to model abnormal trophoblast differentiation in preeclampsia placentas, 2)...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,474,108 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying placenta accreta, a serious maternal condition characterized by excessive placental invasion into the uterus. The primary awardee, the University of Connecticut Health Center, will investigate how scar tissue from previous uterine surgeries can dysregulate...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support the development of a microfluidic human placenta organoid model at Syracuse University. The $411,125 award will fund research to derive human trophoblast stem cells from induced pluripotent stem cells and use them to generate placental organoids that can recapitulate early-to-mid gestation...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) provides $717,285 to conduct a large-scale investigation of the vaginal ecosystem in preeclampsia. The primary awardee, The Trustees of Columbia University, will lead a team to perform longitudinal metagenomic and metabolomic profiling of approximately 4,200 vaginal samples from 389 pregnancies with severe...
This Project Grant award of $191,965.00 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to elucidate the upstream transcription factors controlling preeclampsia-specific gene expression using human trophoblast stem cells as a model system. The key objectives are to 1) identify and functionally validate putative preeclampsia-driver transcription factors that can induce preeclampsia-specific gene...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded Cedars-Sinai Medical Center a $250,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to conduct research on the role of L-kynurenine deficiency in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia in animal models of impaired renal reserve. The research aims to improve methods for diagnosing and monitoring preeclampsia in high-risk populations, as well as develop targeted, pathophysiology-based...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the amount of $259,570 will develop 3D spheroid models using patient-derived trophoblast cells to investigate placental cell invasion and study preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication with high global maternal and infant mortality rates. The 2-year project will design culture conditions to maintain the spheroid models, engineer an extracellular matrix to mimic the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will provide $456,251 to Colorado State University from August 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029 to conduct research on the mechanisms linking maternal obesity and inflammation to abnormal placental development and preeclampsia. The overarching goal is to test the hypothesis that pro-inflammatory mediators produced by...
