This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $688,163 to the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the role of indole metabolites as danger signals that contribute to acute lung injury and the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The research aims to: 1) determine the mechanism by which indole metabolites derived from microbes cause cell death in lung...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $480,990 to the University of Illinois for a research project focused on accelerating alveolar epithelial regeneration to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The key objectives are to investigate the role of "aerocytes", a newly identified capillary endothelial cell population, in regulating alveolar...
This $782,362 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 the role of TREK-1 potassium channels in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The key objectives are to: 1) determine if ARDS decreases epithelial and endothelial TREK-1 levels, leading to cell membrane depolarization and calcium-dependent inflammation, and 2) evaluate if activating residual TREK-1...
This Project Grant award, identified as R01HL170118, was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837). The award, totaling $495,159.00, will fund research to investigate the role of the protein CARMIL1 in regulating endothelial cell barrier function and its potential impact on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The study, to be conducted by the University of Illinois, will use...
This Project Grant award of $775,992.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and glucocorticoid signaling in the resolution of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The research aims to determine how glucocorticoid signaling through Tregs impacts their immunomodulatory and tissue...
This federal Project Grant award of $200,502 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports a research project led by Dr. Narges Alipanah-Lechner at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The project aims to identify metabolite and protein drivers of the evolution of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) subtypes, specifically the hyper-inflammatory and hypo-inflammatory forms. The research will utilize comprehensive...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $1,659,996 to the University of Southern California (USC) from April 1, 2025 to January 31, 2029. The funding supports research to investigate the role of the protein PDLIM2 in regulating alveolar macrophage function, which is critical for lung innate immunity, inflammation, and respiratory diseases. The research aims to elucidate the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), is providing $1,147,992 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research aimed at advancing precision medicine for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. The key focus is on deeply phenotyping human samples to understand the functional immune response and pathogen drivers of...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $1,831,848 to the University of Rochester to investigate how neonatal microbiome colonization impacts lung immunity and regeneration. The research aims to elucidate how early-life microbial dysbiosis remodels the developmental program in lung-resident lymphocytes and epithelial cells, contributing to chronic respiratory disease. Key...
