NIH-funded research (20)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
GLP-1 medicines and heart/kidney outcomes in adults with type 1 diabetes
This project looks at whether GLP-1 medicines, already used for weight loss, also help adults with type 1 diabetes by protecting heart and kidney health and how safe they are in real-world use.
-
Adaptive aerobic exercise plans during chemotherapy for colon cancer
This study tests personalized aerobic exercise during chemotherapy for people with colon cancer to help them stay on their planned treatment schedule and reduce side effects.
-
Persisting brain benefits from aerobic exercise in older adults with memory concerns
A large NIH-supported program tests whether regular aerobic exercise helps maintain brain health and memory in adults aged 65-80, even after the active training ends.
-
Adaptive aerobic exercise during colon cancer chemotherapy
This program uses tailored aerobic exercise during chemotherapy to help people with stage II–III colon cancer complete their chemo doses and reduce side effects.
-
How endurance exercise changes fat tissue health
This project uses endurance exercise to improve fat tissue health and insulin sensitivity in adults with overweight or type 2 diabetes.
-
How gut bacteria and diet change energy balance and body weight
This project tests whether switching between a typical Western diet and a high-fiber microbiome-enhancing diet causes people with overweight or obesity to lose more calories in their stool and alters how their bodies use energy.
-
Improved insulin systems for adults with type 1 diabetes who don’t notice low blood sugar
Adults with long-standing type 1 diabetes who often miss low blood sugar will use either an automated hybrid closed-loop insulin system or a sensor-linked insulin pump to see which helps them notice and avoid hypoglycemia.
-
How aerobic exercise affects muscle health in colon cancer survivors
This study is looking at how a regular exercise program can help improve muscle health and strength in people who have survived colon cancer, with the goal of boosting their overall well-being and lowering the chances of cancer coming back.
-
Understanding how gut bacteria and diet affect body weight
This study is looking at how the bacteria in our gut and what we eat can affect our weight, and it’s for anyone interested in understanding how different diets might help with managing obesity.
-
Understanding how exercise helps your brain over time
This research looks at whether the brain benefits from exercise can last for many years in older adults.
-
Understanding how genes in mitochondria affect muscle strength and movement in older adults
This research explores how genetic differences in our cells' powerhouses, called mitochondria, might explain why some older adults, especially African Americans, experience more challenges with walking and staying active.
-
How exercise affects brain health in older adults with dementia
This study is looking at how staying active can help improve brain health in older adults with Alzheimer's and similar conditions, and it aims to find ways to make it easier for them to keep exercising regularly.
-
Improving motivation in older adults with depression using digital tools
This study is looking for older adults with late-life depression who feel unmotivated, to see if special online brain exercises can help boost their motivation and improve their overall mental health.
-
Aerobic exercise and muscle health to boost outcomes in colon cancer survivors
A structured aerobic exercise program is tested to see if it improves muscle health and lowers cancer recurrence risk in people who have completed treatment for colon cancer.
-
Improving insulin delivery to help people with type 1 diabetes recognize low blood sugar.
This study is looking at two different ways to deliver insulin to help people with type 1 diabetes who have trouble noticing when their blood sugar is low, and it aims to find out which method works better to keep them safe from low blood sugar episodes while also providing helpful education on managing their condition
-
How endurance training affects fat cell development and function
This study is looking at how doing endurance exercise can improve the health of your fat tissue and help with insulin resistance, so if you're interested in how exercise can boost your overall health, this research might be for you!
-
Investigating how muscle cells behave in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
This study is looking at how changes in muscle cells can make it harder for people with type 2 diabetes to use insulin properly, and it hopes to find new ways to help improve insulin sensitivity for better blood sugar control.
-
How working night shifts affects metabolism and muscle clocks
This study is looking at how working night shifts affects your body's ability to use energy and keep your internal clock in sync, which could help explain why shift workers might be at a higher risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
-
The effects of exercise on stress hormones and brain health in Alzheimer's disease.
This study is looking at how regular aerobic exercise might help keep your brain healthy as you age by checking cortisol levels in hair samples from older adults who have been exercising, with the hope of finding ways to prevent or treat memory problems related to Alzheimer's disease.
-
Effects of exercise training on muscle metabolism and health
This study is looking at how different kinds of exercise, like running or lifting weights, can help your muscle cells work better and stay healthy, which could be really helpful for anyone wanting to improve their metabolism and reduce the risk of health issues.
