Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare lung disease that has only been recorded about 700 times in medical literature. In order for someone to get PAM, both parents must have the genetic mutation that causes it. Although rare, this disease can result in a much shorter life expectancy or death. With the help of a new grant worth $1.6 million over the next four years from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the NIH, researchers at the University of Cincinnati will further study this rare disease.

Each year the NIH's Heart, Lung and Blood Institute awards researchers around the country with grants to support research of new treatments and drug targets for different health disorders. These grants, known as CADET II grants (Centers for Advanced Diagnostics and Experimental Therapeutics in Lung Diseases Stage II) are awarded to support research that has moved past the initial stage of developing a new drug, but is not yet ready to begin clinical trial testing.

Imagine losing the ability to control your physical movements or the ability to control coordination. These two symptoms, along with many more, happen to people who suffer from the genetically dominant, neurodegenerative disorder Huntington's Disease. Currently, there is no cure for Huntington's Disease and no way to stop the disease once it has begun. Even though there are a few drugs available to relieve some of the symptoms that occur with the disease, researchers are actively looking for treatment options.
