The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $873,546 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Program (CFDA 93.121) to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth). The grant aims to develop a biomaterial-enhanced system for targeted localization of engineered probiotic bacteria (Limosilactobacillus reuteri) that secrete the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) to treat experimental periodontitis. The key...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), totaling $557,606.00, supports research aimed at advancing the understanding of periodontal stem cells and their regulation for more predictable and efficient periodontal tissue regeneration. The key research objectives are to: 1) characterize the properties of periodontal crestal stem cells (PCSCs) and their activation by...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $432,209 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for a 2-year period starting on August 1, 2023. The funding supports research to investigate the role of the CXCL10-CXCR3 axis in the compounding effects of diabetes mellitus on periodontitis. Specifically, the research aims to further elucidate the role of CXCL10 in the...
This Project Grant award, totaling $446,875.00, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The award supports research to investigate the role of a novel G protein-coupled receptor (MRGPRX2/MRGPRB2) expressed on mast cells and its contribution to the development of periodontal disease. The research aims to develop humanized mouse models to study the impact of this receptor and its...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $995,000.00 to the ADA Forsyth Institute, Inc. (doing business as The Forsyth Institute) to conduct research on the mechanisms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-α) regulation in periodontitis. The research aims to determine if PPAR-α agonist treatment can modulate macrophage polarization to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), part of the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), provides $858,000 in funding to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) from September 2024 to September 2026. The research project aims to investigate the mechanisms by which the anaerobic bacterium Veillonella inhibits the hemolytic activity of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas...
This $241,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121) will fund research to identify diffusible small molecules that regulate the replication of the oral bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). The research aims to establish the identity of growth-promoting cues produced by different strains of P. gingivalis and the early biofilm colonizer Veillonella...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) totals $588,952 and will run from April 2025 to March 2030. The funding will support the development and optimization of a bio-inspired tubular matrix scaffold to guide the formation of periodontal ligament (PDL) principal fibers and rebuild the microenvironment for the regeneration of Sharpey's fibers, which are critical for...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) provides $248,999 to investigate the role of CD4+ memory T cell subtypes in the recurrence of periodontal disease. The project aims to: 1) identify the spatiotemporal development of CD4+ memory T cells in periodontal tissues, 2) elucidate the pathogenicity of periodontal disease-induced CD4+ memory T cell subtypes, and 3) develop an...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $148,568 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The 18-month project aims to develop innovative biomarkers and a machine learning classifier to improve the characterization and monitoring of periodontal inflammation using quantitative ultrasound and image texture analysis techniques. Specifically, the research will investigate...
