NIH-funded research (13)
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.
-
Targeted gene therapy and nanomedicine for corneal healing
A patient-facing overview of a project aiming to use gene therapy and tiny nanoparticles to treat scarring in the cornea and restore vision.
-
Sleep problems after stroke
Researchers are developing models to understand why people have sleep problems after a stroke so future treatments can help recovery.
-
How a protein called Olfm2 affects artery plaque and cholesterol handling
Researchers are looking at whether lowering a protein named Olfm2 can reduce artery plaque and improve cholesterol balance for people at risk of heart attack and stroke.
-
Liver eNOS and its role in fatty liver disease (NASH)
Researchers are looking at whether changing levels of a liver enzyme called eNOS can reduce harmful fat buildup and inflammation in adults with NASH.
-
RECK protein's role in harmful heart remodeling and heart failure
They are looking at whether boosting a protein called RECK can stop or reverse harmful heart changes that lead to heart failure in older people with pressure-related problems like high blood pressure or aortic valve narrowing.
-
Investigating vision loss from traumatic eye and brain injuries in veterans
This study is looking at how eye and brain injuries can cause vision problems, especially for veterans and active military members, and aims to create new treatments to help improve their healing and quality of life.
-
Understanding how a specific protein affects the buildup of plaques in arteries
This study is looking at a protein called Olfactomedin 2 to see how it affects the buildup of fatty plaques in arteries, which can lead to heart problems, and it hopes to find new ways to help prevent heart attacks and strokes for people at risk.
-
Investigating low dose thyroid hormone for treating liver disease linked to obesity and diabetes
This study is looking at how a low dose of thyroid hormone might help people with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a serious liver condition often linked to obesity and diabetes, by potentially improving liver health.
-
Developing better imaging and treatment methods for prostate and breast cancer
This study is working on new ways to help doctors find and treat prostate and breast cancer earlier and more effectively, using special tools to create better medicines that could lead to improved care for patients.
-
Effects of a medication on blood vessel stiffness in veterans with obesity
This study is looking at how a certain medication might help make blood vessels more flexible in veterans with obesity, which can help lower their risk of heart problems.
-
Investigating the relationship between sleep disturbances and stroke recovery in Veterans
This study is looking at how sleep problems after a stroke can make it harder for Veterans to recover, and it aims to find ways to improve their sleep so they can heal better.
-
Investigating how a protein affects blood vessel cell aging and stiffness
This study is looking at how a protein called PAI-1 affects the aging of blood vessel cells, which can get stiff and lead to heart problems as we get older, and it hopes to find new ways to help keep our hearts healthy as we age.
-
Investigating a protein's role in heart failure and cardiac remodeling
This study is looking at how a protein called RECK affects heart failure in older adults and whether changing its levels can help improve heart function and keep patients out of the hospital.
