This Project Grant award, totaling $805,374.00, is funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The primary focus of this 5-year research project, awarded to Rutgers, The State University, is to uncover the fundamental principles governing how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces at their surface. By investigating mechanosensitive membrane proteins, such as Piezo channels, the project aims to establish a thermodynamic...
This federal Project Grant award of $125,000.00, issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), will support research to determine the structural mechanics underlying the functional differences between the Piezo1 and Piezo2 ion channels. The research aims to provide fundamental insights into how these mechanosensitive ion channels function within a cellular environment and establish a foundation...
This $429,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will support research to investigate the role of Schwann cell PIEZO1 in pain sensation. The key objectives are to: 1) develop and validate adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors for selective inhibition of Schwann cell PIEZO1, and 2) determine the sensory effects of Schwann cell...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of cellular mechanosensitivity. The $387,662 award to Duke University will enable the development of novel biosensors and techniques to investigate how mechanical forces and protein phosphorylation regulate the mechanical state and force transmission capabilities of key linker...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $636,822 to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct research on the cooperative modulation of piezo ion channels, which are essential for sensing mechanical forces in the cardiovascular system. The key research objectives are to: 1) use molecular dynamics simulations to study the interactions between piezo channel structures in...
