NIH-funded research (8)
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.
-
Investigating how certain pesticides affect the nervous system using a freshwater organism.
This study is looking at how certain pesticides might affect the brain development of children, using a small freshwater worm to help find out which proteins are involved in breaking down these chemicals, so we can better understand the potential risks to human health.
-
Testing chemicals for their effects on brain development using planarians
This study is looking at how certain chemicals in the environment might affect brain development in young people by testing them on planarians, a type of flatworm, to see how these chemicals impact their behavior and brain function.
-
Understanding how signals control heart cell growth during development
This study looks at how certain signals help heart cells grow and divide before birth, using a simple organism to learn more about heart development, which could lead to better treatments for congenital heart issues.
-
Understanding how blood cell precursors respond to immune signals
This study is looking at how early red blood cells sense important molecules that help our immune system, and it aims to understand how this affects the way red blood cells develop and work, which could lead to better treatments for blood-related and immune conditions.
-
Understanding RNA from specific regions of the human genome
This study is looking at how certain parts of our DNA make RNA in cancer cells, which can help us understand how these changes might affect cancer growth, and it could lead to new insights that benefit patients like you.
-
Understanding how nerve signals influence heart cell growth in a marine organism.
This study looks at how nerve connections to the heart help heart cells grow in a sea creature called Ciona robusta, and it hopes to find ways to improve heart health that could also help people with heart problems.
-
Developing a new tool to screen treatments for poisoning from organophosphorus agents
This study is working on a new way to quickly find helpful treatments for people who have been poisoned by certain chemicals, like pesticides, so that we can reduce serious health problems and save lives after such exposures.
-
Investigating how organophosphorus pesticides affect brain development
This study is looking into how long-term exposure to certain insecticides, called organophosphorus pesticides, might harm brain development and behavior in babies and young children, so we can better understand the risks and help keep families safe.
