This federal Project Grant award of $443,576 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) supports research to develop a defined 3D microenvironment that can regulate the self-renewal and differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into odontogenic epithelial stem cells (OESCs) and neural crest cells (NCCs). The goal is to co-culture these cell types in a chitosan-alginate...
This $656,315 Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2024 by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121). The overarching goal is to mechanistically study the effect of biomaterial cyclic strain on the pathogenesis of oral microbes, including the fungal strain Candida albicans and denture-related microbiota. The research aims to understand how chewing actions may fuel the progression of...
This $162,216 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 the ADA Forsyth Institute's research to investigate microbe-microbe interactions within the oral microbiome. The study aims to employ a combination of expansion microscopy and multiplex FISH imaging to analyze microbial organization and quantify adhesion forces at the single-cell level. This approach...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $800,000 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The objective of this 1-year grant, with a start date of June 5, 2024, is to elucidate how the matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) protein regulates the dental pulp's reparative processes and the inflammatory response in acute pulpitis. The research project will leverage conditional...
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 investigate the regulation of exopolysaccharide (EPS) production in the oral bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa). The research aims to decipher the roles of two Aa proteins, AaFlp-1 and AaDcuB, in controlling EPS (also known as PNAG) production, which is critical for 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. The 5-year project, beginning June 1, 2024, will be conducted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell's Office of Research Administration-Lowell. The key objectives are: (1) developing and validating a microphysiological system to study oral...
This federal Project Grant award of $215,256 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) supports research to develop a controlled release system for engineered anti-inflammatory extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells. The goal is to enhance tissue repair and address oral healthcare issues such as diabetes-related chronic inflammation and poor craniofacial bone repair. Key...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $236,250.00, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121). The award supports a study investigating the potential biological mechanisms underlying the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and increased risk of dental caries in children. The study aims to examine the relationships among ACEs, the oral microbiome,...
The federal Project Grant award R01DE033520, totaling $924,616.45, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The goal of this 4-year project is to identify the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling dental mesenchymal cell differentiation and fate during early tooth development. This research aims to leverage this knowledge to develop potential therapeutics for dentin...
This federal Project Grant award of $588,952 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) supports the development of a bio-inspired scaffold called a PerioPatch for regenerating Sharpey's fibers and periodontal tissues. The key objectives are to develop a tubular matrix that can guide the formation of periodontal ligament (PDL) principal fibers, and to create a microenvironment to facilitate the...
