NIH-funded research (11)
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.
-
Nonlinear vestibular reflex clues in aging adults
A study in adults investigates how age-related changes affect the brain’s balance signals to improve diagnosis and rehabilitation for balance disorders.
-
Autism and Anxiety in Teens: Using Heart Signals to Understand Feelings
A physician-researcher at a university is studying whether autonomic signals like heart rate can serve as a simple clue to anxiety in autistic teens.
-
How aging changes balance signals from the inner ear
This project looks at new recordings of inner-ear reflex signals in adults to understand how aging changes balance.
-
Investigating new ways to maintain the function of a key protein in heart and skin diseases
This study is looking at a protein called desmoplakin, which is important for keeping cells together, and it's for people with heart and skin conditions linked to problems with this protein; the researchers want to find ways to fix or protect it so that it works better and helps improve health.
-
Understanding how aging affects balance through vestibular reflexes
This study is looking at how getting older affects balance by checking how well the inner ear helps with stability, and it's designed for adults who want to understand more about balance issues and improve their overall stability.
-
Understanding how integrins affect brain development and function
This study is looking at how a specific protein called integrin beta 3 affects brain development and function, which could help us understand and improve treatments for conditions like autism.
-
Investigating how certain enzymes in mitochondria regulate energy production.
This study is looking at how a special enzyme in our cells helps produce energy and can create harmful substances, which is important for understanding conditions like cancer and heart disease, and it aims to find new ways to treat these issues.
-
Investigating the role of desmosomal proteins in heart and skin diseases
This study is looking at how certain genetic changes in a protein called desmoplakin can cause heart and skin problems, and it aims to find ways to fix these issues to help people who have these conditions.
-
Improving texting communication for people with aphasia
This study is looking at how people with aphasia can improve their texting skills to communicate better and stay connected with others, and it aims to find helpful ways to support them in sending messages.
-
Investigating ways to improve the function of a key protein involved in heart and skin diseases
This study is looking at a protein called desmoplakin that helps keep cells in your heart and skin strong and connected, and it's trying to find ways to fix problems caused by certain gene changes that can lead to heart and skin diseases, so that patients can have better treatment options.
-
Understanding how the bc1 complex binds substrates
This study is looking at an important enzyme that helps our cells produce energy and can create harmful substances, to see how different factors affect its function, which could lead to better treatments for diseases like cancer.
