NIH-funded research (10)
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.
-
Repairing diabetic stem cells to improve leg blood flow and muscle and nerve healing
This project aims to fix patients' own diabetic stem cells so they can better heal muscle and nerve damage from peripheral artery disease.
-
A modified below-knee amputation to help veterans with diabetes or poor leg circulation walk and have less pain
Testing a modified below-knee amputation called the Ewing amputation in veterans with diabetes or peripheral arterial disease to improve walking with a prosthesis and reduce pain.
-
Copper's role in controlling hypoxia-driven HIFs in kidney cancer
This project looks at how copper affects the activity of HIF proteins in clear cell renal cell carcinoma to understand potential new ways to treat the disease.
-
How stress hormone receptors shape PTSD risk and symptoms
This work looks at how stress hormones and their receptor systems can make some people more likely to develop lasting fear, anxiety, and memory problems after trauma.
-
Investigating a fungal pneumonia affecting older adults and immunocompromised patients
This study is looking at a serious lung infection called Pneumocystis pneumonia, which mainly affects older people and those with weakened immune systems, to find out how the fungus that causes it works and to see if current antifungal medicines can be improved to help keep patients healthier.
-
Using probenecid to treat heart failure in veterans
This study is looking at whether a safe medication called probenecid can help improve heart function in veterans with heart failure, making their hearts work better and feel stronger.
-
Investigating if Epstein-Barr Virus causes Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
This study is looking at whether the Epstein-Barr virus might be linked to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus by comparing blood samples from military personnel who develop lupus with those who don’t, to see if there are any differences that could help us understand how lupus might start.
-
Investigating new treatments for pneumonia caused by a fungal pathogen in immunocompromised patients
This study is looking for better treatment options for people with weakened immune systems who can't take the usual medicine for a type of pneumonia caused by a fungus, and it will test a new combination of medicines to see if it works better for them.
-
Understanding how different types of immune cells affect C. difficile infections
This study is looking at how a type of immune cell called neutrophils affects people with Clostridium difficile infections, aiming to find out what helps or harms recovery, so we can create better treatments that focus on the body's immune response.
-
Understanding how stress hormones affect PTSD development
This study is looking at how certain hormones in the body might affect the way people, especially military personnel who have gone through trauma, develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), using animal models to help understand the biology behind it and find better ways to treat the condition.
