This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research to investigate how the protein DLK1 regulates hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence and signaling. The $680,321 award to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, WA aims to: 1) determine if DLK1 maintains and/or expands quiescent HSCs, 2) elucidate how DLK1 interactions with receptor components within cellular...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $734,607 to Boston Medical Center Corporation to conduct research on the mechanisms that regulate the migration of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) into their bone marrow niches. The goal is to elucidate the key endothelial cell adhesion and vesicle trafficking processes that facilitate the extravasation of HSCs, in order to...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $146,876 to the Coriell Institute for Medical Research to develop new methods for expanding functional hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from cryopreserved umbilical cord blood (UCB) samples. The project aims to optimize an approach using PPAR-α agonists, which have been shown to significantly expand long-term functional UCB HSCs while minimizing cytokine exposure. This work has the potential to overcome limitations in UCB HSC availability and improve the utility of UCB for hematopoietic stem cell transplants, which are a life-saving therapy for hematopoietic malignancies and disorders. The award period runs from September 15, 2024 to July 31, 2026.
