This federal Project Grant award, valued at $294,000 and spanning September 2024 to September 2026, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program. The grant supports research to understand the mechanisms of craniofacial cartilage differentiation from human neural crest stem cells, with the goal of developing tissue engineering approaches to repair birth defects and injuries to the head and face. Key activities include characterizing gene expression and cell signaling pathways in 3D organoid cultures, as well as evaluating the use of growth factors and extracellular matrix components to enhance cartilage differentiation. This innovative research, conducted by the University of Montana, aims to advance techniques for growing functional, transplantable craniofacial cartilage using human stem cells, with potential applications in surgical reconstruction and rehabilitation.
