This federal 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 $595,117 to Vanderbilt University to develop carrier-free siRNA conjugates as disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs. The project aims to (1) elucidate the mechanism of action of siRNA-L2 against MMP13 in osteoarthritis, (2) test new chemical modifications to improve joint retention...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $361,300 Project Grant under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The goal of this 2-year exploratory/developmental project is to use high-throughput small molecule screening and CRISPR screening technologies to identify signaling pathways and therapeutic targets for disease modification in osteoarthritis...
This $313,000 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) will fund research by Emory University to establish phosphorylated WNT5A produced by osteoclasts as a potential anabolic bone drug. The research aims to determine how osteoclast-derived phospho-WNT5A can enhance bone formation in vivo and elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms by...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded Vanderbilt University a $393,412 Project Grant (CFDA 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to develop engineered cells as agents for treating osteoarthritis. The project aims to leverage advanced cell design platforms to create synthetic receptor-controlled, joint-resident cells that can detect cartilage degeneration and then upregulate the expression of transgenes to promote...
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), aims to develop a programmable siRNA-based therapeutic platform for gene silencing in the skin. The $249,000 award supports research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School to systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of selective JAK1 silencing by therapeutic siRNA in mouse models...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $1,657,392 Project Grant under CFDA 93.846 (Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to the University of Pittsburgh. The grant funds research to repurpose FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) using high-throughput screening in microphysiological models. The project aims to define the capacity of FDA-approved drugs to reverse cartilage-driven and inflammation-driven OA...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $618,629 Project Grant (CFDA 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to The Regents of the University of Colorado to establish a new "microphysiological joint-on-chip" system. The objective is to create a realistic human joint model that can support mechanistic study of arthritic diseases and rapid testing of candidate treatments. The researchers plan to develop...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $220,224 Project Grant (CFDA 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, operating as the University of Colorado, with a period of performance from July 4, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The funding will support the development of granular hydrogels for the controlled delivery of immunomodulatory and angiogenic extracellular vesicles to enhance...
