This Project Grant award of $423,036.00 was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) federal grant program. The project aims to conduct genetic and biochemical research to better understand the biogenesis and function of pachytene piRNAs, a class of small RNAs critical for spermatogenesis and male fertility in mammals. The research will focus on three key areas: 1) how regulatory motifs direct Piwi...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA Program 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research - supports research to identify biomarkers of the sperm striated columns, a key component of the sperm centrosome. The $152,834 award to the University of Toledo will be used to examine the composition of the striated columns in bovine spermatozoa and zygotes, with the long-term goal of understanding the contribution...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $157,000 to Michigan State University to reveal how a mitochondrion-localized protein, ASZ1, recruits PIWI proteins to the intermitochondrial cement (IMC) for PIRNA biogenesis and germ cell development. The project aims to fill a knowledge gap on how mitochondria recruit PIWI proteins to form the IMC, which is critical for...
This Project Grant award, valued at $606,518 and funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research to develop and test the safety and feasibility of spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) transplantation and testicular tissue grafting procedures for restoring fertility in patients who previously cryopreserved their testicular tissues. The awardee, Magee-Womens Research...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program, provides $380,546.00 to support research on post-transcriptional regulation of stem and progenitor cell function. The primary focus is to define how post-transcriptional mechanisms regulate gene expression programs to support the function of spermatogonial stem and progenitor cells in mouse models. Key areas of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $1,324,515 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the molecular determinants of how zinc regulates mammalian sperm. The key objectives are to uncover how zinc alters sperm swimming and establish the mechanism by which zinc homeostasis changes from mating to fertilization. The research...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA Program 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research provides $1,713,959 to support research on sperm chromatin structure and remodeling during spermiogenesis and fertilization. The project will conduct biochemical, biophysical, and structural analyses of in vitro reconstituted Drosophila sperm chromatin to understand the relationship between chromatin structure in...
This federal Project Grant award of $243,750 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports research on the maternal regulation of microtubules in egg developmental competency. The research, conducted by the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, investigates the dynamics, etiology, and nature of spindle-like microtubule structures and vesicle-like structures observed...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will fund research to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying fertilization and egg activation in the C. elegans model system. The primary researcher will use a forward genetic screen to identify novel genes involved in sperm-egg binding, fusion, and egg activation. This $133,207 award,...
This $1,216,126 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support research at Washington State University to investigate the role of RUNX transcription factors in balancing self-renewal and differentiation functions of germline stem cells during prepubertal development in the male germline. The study aims to functionally evaluate the specific roles...
