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.
-
How tiny chemical tags on tRNA change how cells make proteins
This work looks at how chemical changes to tRNA affect protein production and how those changes relate to intellectual disability and type 2 diabetes.
-
How early antipsychotic use affects brain development
This research looks at whether giving antipsychotic medicines when kids are very young changes brain development and later responses to stimulant drugs.
-
Effects of early-life antipsychotic treatment on brain development
This study looks at how taking antipsychotic medications early in life might impact brain development and behavior as kids grow up, especially for those treated for mental health issues, and it also gives college students a chance to learn through hands-on research.
-
Understanding how opioid exposure affects children's brain function
This study is looking at how using opioids during pregnancy might affect kids' thinking skills, like paying attention and controlling impulses, and it’s for parents who want to understand the potential impacts on their children.
-
Understanding how SAM gene mutations affect cell processes and genome stability
This study is looking at how changes in certain genes can affect cell health and stability, which might help us understand cancer better and improve treatment options for patients.
-
Investigating how genetics influence brain development affected by environmental toxins.
This study is looking at how our genes might make some people more sensitive to a harmful chemical called benzo[a]pyrene, which can come from pollution and certain foods, and how this exposure during important growth stages could lead to lasting brain and behavior problems, with the hope of finding ways to protect agai
-
How brain pathways influence risky choices and cocaine addiction
This study looks at how certain brain connections influence risky choices and the desire for cocaine, using animal models to help us understand addiction better, which could lead to improved treatments for people struggling with substance use.
-
Exploring how exercise during pregnancy can reduce brain damage in children.
This study is looking at how exercise during pregnancy can help protect both moms and their babies from harmful effects of a chemical that can hurt brain development, aiming to find out if staying active can boost brain health for both.
-
Exploring how treating mothers with helminths can reduce inflammation in their children
This study is looking at how treating pregnant mothers for certain worms might help reduce inflammation in both moms and their babies, potentially leading to better learning and memory for the kids as they grow up.
-
Understanding how specific modifications in tRNA affect protein production
This study is looking at how certain changes in a type of molecule called transfer RNA (tRNA) help our cells make proteins, using yeast to learn more about these changes and how they might be connected to health issues like intellectual disabilities and metabolic disorders.
