The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $398,750 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Oklahoma (OU) to conduct research on the role of creatine metabolism in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious gastrointestinal disease affecting preterm infants. The research aims to test the hypotheses that creatine deficiency detrimentally affects preterm infant intestinal epithelial injury, while creatine supplementation can prevent NEC-like injury. The...
This $171,728 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research to define the role of premature infant gut microbiome dysbiosis in mediating immune development and response to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. The primary goals are to investigate how the altered gut microbiome in premature infants affects their ability to...
This $630,847 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) supports research at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri to investigate the role of the SIGIRR gene in regulating intestinal barrier function and preventing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants. The research aims to: 1) Determine how SIGIRR regulates adherens and tight junction assembly in the neonatal intestine, 2) Evaluate if SIGIRR inhibits the...
