• 14NIH research projects

NIH-funded research (14)

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.

• Pediatric and Young Adult Gastroparesis Registry and Disease Course

  This project follows children, teens, and young adults with symptoms of gastroparesis to learn how their symptoms change over time and what factors are tied to different disease patterns.

• How the mitochondrial protein PSAP affects nerve cell survival in ALS

  This research looks at whether lowering a mitochondrial protein called PSAP can protect motor neurons and help people with ALS.

• Pediatric Gastroparesis Registry 2: tracking symptoms and gastric emptying in kids and young adults

  This registry follows children, teens, and young adults (ages 8–25) with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloating, early fullness, or abdominal pain to document symptom patterns, gastric emptying, and quality of life over time.

• Mitochondrial protein PSAP’s role in ALS: protecting motor neurons by controlling cell death and cleaning up damaged parts

  This grant studies how a mitochondrial protein called PSAP may protect nerve cells in ALS by balancing cell death and cellular cleanup, with experiments in animal models to see if boosting PSAP helps motor function and survival.

• How KSHV hides from the immune system via complement and Fc-receptor proteins

  Researchers are looking at how the virus that causes Kaposi sarcoma (KSHV) uses complement and Fc-receptor proteins to hide from the immune system, to help people with KSHV-related cancers.

  NIH research Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso · El Paso, United States · NIH-11261173

• Prucalopride to help symptoms of diabetic and idiopathic gastroparesis

  People with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis are given prucalopride or a placebo to see if taking prucalopride eases stomach-emptying problems and related symptoms.

  NIH research Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso · El Paso, United States · NIH-11158600

• Understanding how KSHV avoids the immune system

  This study is looking at how the Kaposi sarcoma virus hides from our immune system so that we can find better treatments for cancers it causes, and it involves creating a version of the virus that can help us learn more about how it works.

  NIH research Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso · El Paso, United States · NIH-11080041

• A new vaccine to improve protection against tuberculosis

  This study is looking at a new version of the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis that has been changed to help your immune system fight TB better, which could mean stronger protection for both kids and adults.

• Understanding how estrogen affects cell signaling through specific RNA molecules.

  This study is looking at how the hormone estrogen works in breast cancer cells, especially focusing on a special type of RNA that might help control how these cells respond to estrogen, which could lead to better understanding and treatment of related diseases.

  NIH research Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso · El Paso, United States · NIH-10923793

• Understanding how chronic substance misuse affects hearing and balance

  This study is looking at how long-term substance use affects hearing and balance, which are important for communication and daily life, and it’s for people who struggle with substance use disorders to help understand their unique challenges better.

  NIH research Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso · El Paso, United States · NIH-10880593

• Investigating the role of microRNAs in Alzheimer's disease progression

  This study is looking at tiny molecules in the brain that might play a role in how Alzheimer's disease develops, by comparing brain samples from people with Alzheimer's and those without, to see how these molecules change and what that might mean for brain health.

  NIH research Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso · El Paso, United States · NIH-10849918

• A new nasal spray vaccine for preventing influenza in children

  This study is testing a new nasal spray flu vaccine designed just for kids, aiming to make it safer and more effective in protecting them from the flu.

  NIH research Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso · El Paso, United States · NIH-10838135

• A new nasal spray vaccine for preventing influenza in children

  This study is working on a new nasal spray flu vaccine just for kids that could help prevent and treat the flu, making it safer and more effective than current options.
