This $431,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) supports research to decipher the mechanisms by which two proteins, AAFLP-1 and AADCUB, regulate the production of exopolysaccharide (PNAG) in the oral bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The research aims to investigate how these two proteins, which are unique to A. actinomycetemcomitans, independently...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a Project Grant (CFDA 93.121 - Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) in the amount of $473,632 to the University of Toledo on May 1, 2025. The purpose of this 3-year project is to investigate the role of megakaryocytes (MEGs) and their response to the cytokine interleukin-17 (IL-17) in oral mucosal immunity, particularly during oropharyngeal candidiasis caused by Candida albicans. The research aims to elucidate the...
This $515,926 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to develop an in vitro gingival (gum) tissue system to study the role of microbial communities on oral health and disease.
