Mechanism of cardiovascular disease in premenopausal women
PROJECT SUMMARY Suboptimal nutrition is the leading risk factor for death and disability worldwide and accounts for accounts for more than 45% of cardiovascular death in the US. Di...
Understanding the function of histone H3 as an oxidoreductase enzyme
PROJECT SUMMARY This application proposes to investigate the newly discovered function of histone H3 as an oxidoreductase enzyme, catalyzing the reduction of cupric (Cu+2) ions to...
CCL2 and CCR2 as metastatic drivers and therapeutic targets in medulloblastoma
PROJECT SUMMARY Brain tumors are the most common solid tumor and the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant pediatric...
Macrophage Regulation of Immune Pathogenesis of Biliary Atresia
PROJECT SUMMARY: Candidate and Career Development: Dr. Taylor is a pediatric hepatologist and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University. She has maintained a str...
Renal AT2 Receptors in Hypertension
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Hypertension (HT) affects ~48% of the US population. Increased renal sodium (Na+) retention is a major contributor to the development of HT. The renal angi...
Serial immunotherapy combination to modulate the tumor environment in patients with metastatic gastroesophageal cancer
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Development of effective therapies is an urgent unmet medical need for patients with metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (mGEA). The advent of immun...
Activity-dependent regulation of Sonic hedgehog signaling incortical astrocytes
PROJECT ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanisms by which the CNS adapts to novel experiences and changing environments is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. Following experience and...
The role of mitochondria in hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal
Abstract Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) sustain the production of all blood and immune cells throughout life by differentiating into all blood lineages and regenerate long-lived HS...
Hydrogen peroxide in endothelial function and dysfunction
The proposed studies will use new biosensors and novel chemogenetic approaches to identify the molecular mechanisms whereby reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate nitric oxide (NO)...
Dissecting Connectivity and Function of Transplanted Interneurons in the Injured Spinal Cord
Injury to the cervical spinal cord results in an immediate and permanent loss of hand function due to massive disruption of neural circuitry. There are currently no effective thera...
Traumatic Axonopathy in the CNS as Wallerian degeneration
PROJECT SUMMARY In this application we propose that traumatic axonal injury (TAI) leads to an active axonopathy with the molecular features of Wallerian degeneration and that targe...
Novel Strategies for Treating Biofilm-Forming Pathogens with Phage Therapy
Project Summary The growing antibiotic resistance problem requires that we urgently develop and test new approaches to controlling bacterial infections. Phage therapy approaches of...
Exploiting sex-dependent brain injury response for nanoparticle therapeutics
Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) afflicts over 1.7 million persons per year in the U.S. alone, resulting in substantial economic burden annually. To date, despite promising pr...
Pharmacological modulation of striatal physiology and repetitive behaviors by M4 PAMs
Project Summary / Abstract Repetitive behaviors are commonly observed in disorders such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Tourette’s Syndrome (TS), and Autism Spectrum Disord...
Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying DDX3X syndrome
Abstract Mutations in DDX3X are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and may account for 1-3% of unexplained developmental delay (DD) in females, making this on...
A deubiquitination module controls Treg adaptation to tumor microenvironment
Project Summary: One of the recent advances in cancer treatment is the development of immunotherapy largely through targeting the checkpoint receptors. However, attempts at immunot...
Enhancing bioremediation of groundwater co-contaminated by chlorinated volatile organic compounds and 1,4-dioxane using novel macrocyclic materials
Project Summary The project addresses a common challenge in the remediation of groundwater contaminated with chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) and 1,4-dioxane. CVOCs i...
Role of intermittent activation of parathyroid hormone receptor in exercise-induced vascular calcification
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Vascular calcification, especially coronary artery calcification (CAC), is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, whereas regular physic...
Modeling myelodysplasia
PROJECT SUMMARY Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are a cancer of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) on the rise in the aging population and cancer survivors. The only curative treatm...
Efficient Bioremediation of Environmentally Persistent Contaminants with Nanomaterial-Fungus Framework (NFF)
Project Summary The recalcitrant and harmful chemicals such as PFASs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), endangers the environmental, wild-life, and human health profoundly. Amo...
