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 $136,711 over 5 years to investigate the role of mesenchymal stem cells and their interaction with neutrophils during rapid maxillary expansion and distraction osteogenesis. The research aims to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying varied patient responses to maxillary expansion procedures, particularly in skeletally mature patients. By leveraging single-cell RNA sequencing techniques, the project will analyze cell heterogeneity and transcriptomic signatures within the mid-palatal suture to understand the interplay between mesenchymal stem cells and immune cells like neutrophils. This work may uncover new targets for modulating suture growth and improving clinical outcomes of maxillary expansion treatments.
