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 process following tooth extraction. The goal is to develop MERTK-based therapeutic approaches to improve the predictability and efficacy of alveolar bone regeneration. The award period runs from April 9, 2025 to March 31, 2030.
