The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program, awarded a $1,854,091.28 Project Grant to the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center to study the mechanistic impact of paternal electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) exposure on thrombogenesis. The 1-year grant, awarded on September 20, 2024, will fund experiments to determine the ramifications of paternal ENDS exposure on normal hemostasis, thrombotic disease, platelet function, coagulation, and associated inflammatory processes. The research will also investigate the role of the platelet transcriptome and epigenetic modifications in the father's sperm in mediating the cardiovascular health effects of paternal ENDS exposure, with a focus on sex-dependent impacts. The findings from this project are expected to significantly contribute to the understanding of the consequences of paternal ENDS exposure on cardiovascular health.
