This $453,750 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to investigate the genetic and cellular mechanisms underlying craniosynostosis, a common craniofacial birth defect. The research team at Boston University Medical Campus will use a zebrafish model to study the role of the ERF transcription factor in normal skull development and how its reduction...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $550,810 Project Grant (CFDA 93.121 - Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to create the Human Craniosynostosis Atlas (HUCA). The project aims to standardize data acquisition protocols and establish a public repository of comprehensive CT, MRI, and genomic data for characterizing all types of craniosynostosis, a premature fusion of the cranial sutures affecting 1 in 2,000...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to establish a novel zebrafish model of syndromic craniosynostosis. The $313,000 award to Emory University will enable comprehensive phenotypic, mechanistic, and genetic analyses of the craniosynostosis mutant zebrafish to better understand the underlying pathological mechanisms. The research aims to identify...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $302,318 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Program (CFDA 93.121) to Rutgers, The State University. The grant will fund research to investigate the effects of skull malformations and intracranial hypertension on the glymphatic and meningeal lymphatic systems in craniosynostosis. Key aims include testing if impaired glymphatic (cerebrospinal fluid) influx and efflux impedes the clearance of...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) has awarded a $148,176 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley.
