• Fiber-enriched soda before a high-fat meal to see how it affects cardiometabolic factors

  This study tests whether a fiber-rich soda (Olipop) given before a high-fat meal improves cardiometabolic responses in healthy adults compared with a control drink.

• Postprandial effects of fresh mango as a sugar substitute in high-sugar breakfasts

  This study tests whether using fresh mango instead of table sugar in a high-sugar breakfast lowers blood inflammation and gut permeability after eating, in healthy adults.

  Recruiting Ball State University · Muncie, Indiana · NCT07650058

• Gut, immune, and blood-vessel responses to a high-fat meal and prebiotic fiber in metabolically healthy obesity

  This project will test how a single high-fat meal affects gut, immune, and blood-vessel responses in adults with metabolically healthy obesity and normal weight, and whether taking the prebiotic inulin changes those responses.

  Recruiting Ball State University · Muncie, Indiana · NCT07559227

• Supplemental inulin fiber for gut and vascular health in adults with obesity

  This will try 9 weeks of inulin fiber to see if it improves gut health and blood vessel function in adults with obesity who are either metabolically healthy or metabolically abnormal.

• Fresh mango instead of table sugar at breakfast: effects on blood sugar, insulin, and blood vessels

  This test will see if replacing table sugar with fresh mango in high- and low-glycemic breakfasts lowers post-meal blood sugar and insulin and improves blood vessel responses in healthy adults aged 18–45.

• Impact of body composition on vascular health in healthy-weight females

  This study is testing how the balance of fat and muscle in healthy-weight women affects their blood vessel health after eating a high-fat meal or experiencing stress.

  Recruiting Ball State University · Muncie, Indiana · NCT06818500

• Improving transition outcomes for students with autism

  This study is testing a new program to help autistic students set and achieve their goals as they transition from high school to adulthood, with support for them and their families.

NIH-funded research (7)

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.

• How Candida RNA changes help the fungus cause infections

  The team is learning how specific RNA modifications in Candida fungi help them survive and resist drugs so future treatments for people with Candida infections can be developed.

  NIH research Ball State University · Muncie, United States · NIH-11220849

• New Antibody-Like Treatments Using Tiny Nucleic Acid Particles

  This work aims to create new, more stable, and affordable antibody-like treatments for cancers like prostate cancer, using special nucleic acid nanoparticles.

  NIH research Ball State University · Muncie, United States · NIH-11220513

• Investigating a new target for treating frontal temporal dementia

  This study is looking into how a gene mutation related to frontotemporal dementia affects brain cells, and it’s exploring a special enzyme that might help reduce harmful proteins, with the hope of finding new treatments for people living with this condition.

  NIH research Ball State University · Muncie, United States · NIH-10974535

• MitoNEET's role in regulating cellular balance in health and disease

  This study is looking at a protein called MitoNEET to see how it helps keep our cells healthy and could lead to better ways to manage conditions like type-2 diabetes, cancer, and Parkinson’s Disease.

  NIH research Ball State University · Muncie, United States · NIH-10875149

• Understanding how inflammation affects nerve healing after injury

  This study is looking at how the nervous and immune systems work together after nerve injuries, using rodent models to understand how inflammation can actually help nerves heal, which could lead to better recovery options for people with similar injuries.

  NIH research Ball State University · Muncie, United States · NIH-10729778

• Understanding how certain proteins and conditions affect the growth of coronary blood vessels

  This study is looking at how certain proteins and conditions affect the growth of blood vessels in the heart, which is important for keeping your heart healthy, and it’s aimed at helping people with coronary artery disease by finding new treatment options.

  NIH research Ball State University · Muncie, United States · NIH-10291709

• Creating new types of nanoparticles that act like monoclonal antibodies for cancer treatment

  This study is exploring new tiny particles made from genetic material that can work like antibodies to target prostate cancer cells, aiming to provide patients with better and more affordable treatment options.
