- 16NIH research projects
NIH-funded research (16)
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.
-
Neuro-immune-blood vessel interactions in HIV brain disease model
A new preclinical model will mimic how HIV enters and affects the brain, helping scientists study brain injury and cognitive problems in people living with HIV.
-
Augmenting Notch signaling to treat Alagille syndrome
A study tests a small molecule that boosts Notch signaling to help people with Alagille syndrome by correcting liver and other organ defects.
-
Targeting tissue-specific cell energy balance to understand aging
This project uses new genetic tools to change key energy-related molecules inside cells in specific tissues to help find ways to protect people from aging-related diseases like cancer and heart disease.
-
Tools to control redox balance in cancer cells to reveal metabolic vulnerabilities
A cancer-focused research project is developing tissue- and organelle-specific tools to alter redox balance in cancer cells, helping doctors and patients understand how metabolism supports cancer growth.
-
Brain circuit that helps control hunger and food reward
This research looks at whether specific brain pathways between the cerebellum and striatum change dopamine signals to reduce overeating, which could help people with appetite or weight problems.
-
Tools to control redox chemistry inside living cells for cancer and other diseases
A NIH grant is funding development of new genetic tools to tune cellular redox balance, which could help understand and treat cancers and related conditions.
-
Investigating how to manipulate redox metabolism in living cells
This study is looking at how to better manage the flow of tiny particles called electrons in our cells, which is important for keeping us healthy, and it aims to find new ways to help people with conditions like cancer, diabetes, and neurodegeneration by understanding how to fix imbalances in our cell processes.
-
Exploring a new method to measure biological age using cellular analysis
This study is exploring a new way to look at how our cells age using a technique called microscopic imaging, which could help people understand their own biological age better and lead to more personalized health advice.
-
How brain circuits control eating and dopamine levels
This study is looking at how certain brain areas help control our eating habits and feelings of reward when we eat, which could help us find new ways to treat eating disorders and obesity.
-
How the brain regulates body temperature during extreme heat
This study is looking at how our brains help us cool down when we get too hot, focusing on certain brain cells that kick in during high temperatures, and it’s designed for anyone interested in how our bodies handle heat stress.
-
Understanding how oxygen affects kidney cancer metabolism
This study is looking at how oxygen levels affect kidney cancer cells by creating a special sensor that can measure oxygen in living cells, which could help develop better treatments for patients like you.
-
Using an FDA-approved cancer drug to prevent hearing loss from chemotherapy and noise exposure
This study is looking at whether a cancer drug called dabrafenib can help protect your hearing from damage caused by chemotherapy and loud noises, by keeping important cells in your inner ear healthy.
-
Investigating how energy use can indicate aging through thermal imaging
This study is looking at how our bodies use energy as we get older by watching how active rodents are in a special setup that uses thermal imaging, which could help us learn more about aging and metabolism.
-
Understanding how brain circuits control eating behaviors
This study is looking at how certain parts of the brain help control our eating habits and cravings, which could help us understand more about appetite and metabolism.
-
Using engineered T cells to target and eliminate HIV-infected cells while producing antibodies
This study is testing a new way to help people with HIV by using specially designed T cells that can find and kill HIV-infected cells while also producing antibodies to fight different strains of the virus, with the hope of creating a long-lasting treatment that could lead to a cure.
-
Investigating how a specific enzyme can help improve energy production in cells with mitochondrial issues
This study is looking at how a specific enzyme called NQO1 can help cells produce energy when their usual energy-making process isn't working well, which could lead to new treatments for conditions related to mitochondrial problems.
