This federal Project Grant award, totaling $690,340.00, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The grant supports research to study the active transcellular and intracellular phosphate (Pi) movements that dictate enamel mineralization processes during tooth development. The University of Southern California is the primary awardee and will utilize unique mouse models to examine the...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $109,548 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The grant supports research to investigate the interactions between phosphorylated amelogenin and acid phosphatase 4 (ACP4) expression, which are critical to proper enamel formation. The research will utilize single-cell RNA sequencing, RT-qPCR, Western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, in situ...
This federal Project Grant award by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $476,287 in funding to the Regents of the University of Michigan to research the role of the MERTK receptor tyrosine kinase in alveolar bone regeneration. The key focus of this project is to examine how MERTK signaling regulates alveolar bone stem cells and immune cell recruitment during the alveolar bone healing...
This $429,000 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) will fund research on differential responses of jawbone versus long bone cells to bone growth factor signaling and mechanical loading. The research aims to provide novel molecular insights into unique mechanisms governing jawbone health, with the goal of improving physical and pharmacological interventions 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 $621,824 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to conduct structural and functional studies on the glucosyltransferase enzymes of the dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans. The key objectives are to determine the novel enzymatic mechanisms that allow these enzymes to produce soluble and insoluble glucans,...
This $147,087 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) supports research to elucidate the mechanisms by which the apical extracellular matrix (AECM) and its modification regulate the dimensions of tubular organs. The project will focus on two key objectives: 1) elucidating the mechanism by which the enzyme PAPSS regulates the AECM, and 2) dissecting the role of zona...
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 $443,576 to the University of Washington to develop bioengineered 3D tooth germs for tooth regeneration in vitro and in vivo. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how material composition and mechanical properties regulate stem cell renewal and support long-term growth of odontogenic epithelial stem cells...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $157,500 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Ohio State University. The grant period runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026. The project aims to investigate the role of the signaling protein SEMA7A in regulating the development of healthy molar teeth, including processes such as dentin mineralization, root elongation, and sensory innervation. The research will...
This $800,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to elucidate the role of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) in regulating the dental pulp's reparative processes and inflammatory response. The key objectives are to determine how MMP13 influences tertiary dentin formation and modulates the immunological response in pulpitis, as well as to translate...
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...
