This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program, aims to elucidate the role of TGF-beta signaling in craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD), a debilitating skeletal disease. With total funding of $306,600 awarded on September 24, 2024, the project will investigate the mechanisms driving TGF-beta signaling in response to constitutive activation of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling in an in vitro iPSC-based model of CFD, as well as test the effects of TGF-beta signaling inhibition on the development of fibrosis and impaired osteogenesis in a murine in vivo model of the disease. The goal is to shed light on the interplay between GPCR and TGF-beta signaling in the skeleton, with potential applications for treating CFD and other disorders of impaired bone development and repair.
