This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences project grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), focuses on investigating the biomechanical mechanisms that confer wound resilience in the single-celled organism Stentor coeruleus. The $185,027 award to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) will support research to identify principles of wound resilience and regeneration in this organism, with the potential to inform the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $651,399 to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to investigate the biomechanical mechanisms conferring wound resilience in the single-celled organism Stentor coeruleus. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) test the role of the cytoskeleton in conferring wound resistance to the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $538,838 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco for research titled "Collaborative Research: Mapping Protein-Membrane Interactions from Molecules to Cell-Level Dynamics." The research will develop multiscale models to map how individual protein structures and compositions interact with and deform cell membranes at varying scales, from...
This $380,500 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research at the University of California, Los Angeles to analyze mechanosensitive channels in bacteria using force spectroscopy. The research team will utilize atomic force microscopy to observe the opening of single mechanosensitive channels in living bacteria in response to mechanical compression. This will help characterize how these channels function to protect bacteria from rupturing due to excessive internal...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $512,676 will fund research at Duke University from August 2022 to July 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to advance understanding of mechanosensitive channels in bacteria through single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments using an atomic force microscope. Investigators will observe the opening of individual mechanosensitive channels in living E. coli and B. subtilis bacteria in response to mechanical...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports basic research to uncover the mechanisms by which mechanical forces at the protein level regulate cell mechanics and direct tissue-scale behaviors. The $616,151 award, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund an interdisciplinary study leveraging molecular biology, bioengineering, materials science, and computational approaches. The research will...
This three-year $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences will support research into the molecular mechanisms governing cell membrane repair. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grant aims to advance understanding of major problems in the biological sciences through basic research. Specifically, the principal investigator will conduct nonlinear surface spectroscopic investigations at Oregon State...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,715,342 project grant to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to elucidate the mechanisms that regulate nuclear size in cells. Over three years from August 2022 through July 2025, the researchers will develop a quantitative model proposing that nuclear size is specified by physical factors such as osmotic pressure and membrane tension. They will test this osmotic model of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $399,755 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds the development of new mathematical modeling paradigms and simulation software tools for investigating cell mechanics across multiple scales. This includes contributions from cell membranes and the cytoskeleton, and the roles of geometry,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $586,230 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to conduct research on the physical organization and molecular transport dynamics of the cell membrane's protective glycocalyx shield. The project aims to develop a fundamental understanding of how the molecular-level organization of proteins and sugars that make up the cell surface glycocalyx impacts the binding and transport of...
