This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), will provide $127,305 to The Children's Hospital Corporation (dba Boston Children's Hospital) for a research project titled "Unraveling Immune Cell Interactions and Multicellular Dynamics in GNAQ-Driven Capillary Malformation." The project aims to study the mechanisms behind capillary malformations, which are vascular abnormalities caused by a specific GNAQ gene mutation. Key research activities include determining the role of macrophages in interacting with the mutant endothelial cells, as well as characterizing the interactions among endothelial cells, mural cells, and macrophages using a 3D multicellular spheroid model. The grant will support the development of this predictive in vitro platform that can be used for drug screening beyond the scope of this specific project, aligning with NIH's goals for non-animal model alternative methods. The project will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Joyce Bischoff and Dr. Christopher Chen, with collaboration from experts in relevant scientific domains.
