This $1,017,602 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at North Carolina State University to develop microphysiological models for evaluating the role of age-dependent fibrinogen sialylation in wound healing. The three-year award under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund the creation of innovative tissue engineering techniques and microfluidic systems to study interactions between platelets and fibroblasts during wound healing. Researchers aim to better understand differences in clotting and healing outcomes between infants and adults by investigating how sialic acid content influences cellular responses and crosstalk in vitro. A $250,000 subaward to Emory University will support oversight of related research processes at its medical school and children's hospital. Outcomes seek to identify novel therapeutic targets for the nearly 6 million Americans with impaired coagulation and non-healing wounds.
