Specifically, the project aims to examine how the low-density lipoprotein...
- The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) received a $1,378,728 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to conduct research on the neural circuits underlying biological motion perception and social engagement. The project aims to investigate the development of social brain networks in the micro glassfish (Danionella cerebrum) vertebrate model, leveraging its genetic amenability, small size, and optical...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $427,625 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of Washington. The project aims to explore whether electrical stimulation can enhance the effectiveness of neural stem cell transplants in improving recovery from chronic spinal cord injury. The research will investigate if combining these two promising treatments can produce...
- This $420,334 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is funding a collaborative research project led by the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to develop flexible, minimally invasive microcoaxial electro-optical probes for studying neural circuits in the spinal cord. The goal is to create advanced probe technologies that can precisely target and measure activity in specific spinal neural circuits, enabling better...
- The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a $1,031,651 Project Grant from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286). The grant, awarded on February 1, 2025, aims to optimize the in vitro production, cryopreservation, and biobanking of "cargocytes" - a novel therapeutic delivery system designed to transport therapeutic...
- This Project Grant award of $1,188,230 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research to evaluate the cellular composition, activation state, and spatial niches involved in neuroma formation following severe peripheral nerve injuries. The primary goals are to validate preliminary data indicating that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) may be an...
- This federal Project Grant award of $410,800 from the Defense Health Agency under the Military Medical Research and Development Program (CFDA 12.420) is supporting the "Restoration of Visual Function Using Optic Nerve Relays" research project at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The project aims to advance medical solutions and healthcare for military service members and the general public through innovative biomedical research in neuroscience and vision restoration....
- This federal 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, provides $273,254 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on how the brain processes active touch sensation through the rhythmic movement of whiskers. The research aims to develop a theoretical model that explains how object position is computed from...
- This federal Project Grant award for $1,341,874.00 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant supports research conducted by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to elucidate the molecular mechanisms controlling dendrite development, function, degeneration, and regeneration in Drosophila neurons. Key areas of focus...
- This $437,250 federal 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 compare the gene expression of the key cell types that form the blood-nerve barrier (BNB) in the peripheral nervous system and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in the central nervous system under physiological conditions. The research will also...
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a $572,114 project grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) grant program. The grant supports UCSD's research on a novel strategy for peripheral nerve repair involving progressive lengthening of the proximal nerve stump towards the distal stump. Preliminary data in animal models has shown this technique results in superior structural and functional outcomes compared to standard autograft nerve repair approaches. The research aims to develop an effective solution for repairing large nerve gaps caused by traumatic injury or surgical damage, which often lead to significant motor and sensory impairment. The grant period runs from Aug 15, 2025 to Jun 30, 2030.
