- 13NIH research projects
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.
-
Lipid movement sensors in the kidney and high blood pressure
This NIH grant explores how cholesterol transport in the kidney affects salt handling and high blood pressure in adults.
-
Optimizing antibody therapies against antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella in High-Risk patients
A patient-focused look at improving monoclonal antibodies that target hard-to-treat Klebsiella infections in people who are seriously ill or recovering in hospital settings.
-
How insulin and IGF1 receptors send signals inside cells
This work looks at how insulin and IGF1 receptors and their partner proteins interact to control cell metabolism relevant to adult-onset diabetes.
-
How the KLF15 protein affects energy use and recovery in kidney tubule cells
Researchers are looking at whether KLF15 helps kidney tubule cells recover after injury to reduce long-term scarring and chronic kidney damage.
-
How kidney blood-vessel cells control tiny-vessel clots in the kidney
This project looks at whether a protein called KLF4 in kidney blood-vessel cells helps stop dangerous clotting and inflammation in people with thrombotic microangiopathy.
-
miR-15a microRNA therapy for advanced metastatic colorectal cancer
A new treatment using a small RNA called miR-15a is being developed to help people, including Veterans, with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer that is resistant to standard chemotherapy.
-
How blood mutations in military personnel affect heart health
This study is looking at how a specific blood mutation, called JAK2V617F, affects military personnel and their chances of developing heart problems, especially for those with a condition known as CHIP, to help us understand more about heart health.
-
Improving treatments for infections caused by drug-resistant Klebsiella bacteria
This study is working on creating better treatments using special antibodies that can fight against a tough bacteria called carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, which can cause serious infections like pneumonia and sepsis, to help patients get better faster.
-
Investigating how certain proteins communicate signals in cells
This study is looking at how certain proteins help cells communicate and grow, especially focusing on how insulin and a similar protein called IGF1 work together, which could help us understand diseases like diabetes and cancer better.
-
Investigating how KLF15 affects kidney cell metabolism
This study is looking at how a specific protein in kidney cells can help us understand what happens when kidneys get hurt and how that might lead to long-term problems, with the hope of finding new ways to keep your kidneys healthy.
-
Understanding how certain proteins affect kidney blood vessel injury
This study is looking at a serious kidney problem called thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) to learn how certain proteins and inflammation affect it, with the hope of finding ways to protect your kidneys and help you feel better.
-
Developing new antifungal treatments for invasive fungal infections
This study is working on new antifungal medicines to help people, especially veterans, who are at risk for serious fungal infections, aiming to find better treatments that work well and don’t lead to resistance.
-
Developing new treatments for advanced colorectal cancer using miRNA.
This study is looking at how a tiny molecule called miR-15a affects colorectal cancer and hopes to develop a new treatment that works like it, especially for Veterans with advanced cancer who haven't had success with regular chemotherapy.
