This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) provides $176,148 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research on the role of PI16-expressing fibroblasts in mouse and human fibrosing skin disease. The 5-year research project aims to elucidate how this specific fibroblast subset responds to and regulates tissue fibrosis, with the goal of advancing the understanding of conserved fibroblast mechanisms across species and tissues. The proposed research leverages novel genetic tools and cutting-edge transcriptomic profiling to interrogate the molecular pathways controlling the anti-fibrotic functions of PI16-expressing fibroblasts. This work is expected to provide key insights into the regulation of fibrosis, which is a hallmark of many chronic and debilitating skin diseases.
