This 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), provides $109,548.00 to investigate the interactions between phosphorylated amelogenin and acid phosphatase 4 (ACP4) expression in enamel development. The research, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh, aims to understand the mechanisms of amelogenin phosphorylation and its role in proper enamel formation. The project...
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 fund research at the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate the role of phosphate transport in enamel formation. The $690,340 award will support a 5-year study to examine how the expression and function of key phosphate transporters, such as PIT1, NAPI2B, and XPR1, contribute to the two distinct stages of...
This federal Project Grant award of $503,648 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 genetic mechanisms driving the specification of oral/dental and skin lineages in the mandibular ectoderm. The research aims to determine how transcription factor interactions regulate these epithelial patterning processes, including identifying the chromatin-level regulation...

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 investigate the roles of the H3K4 methyltransferases KMT2C and KMT2D in chondrocyte differentiation and endochondral ossification. The $130,122 award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will fund studies to assess the molecular mechanisms of KMT2D function in chondrocyte differentiation,...
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, provides $1,849,232.90 to The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) to identify the cellular and molecular identity of genes and pathways defining dental mesenchymal cell differentiation and fate early in tooth development. The goal is to harness this information to develop potential...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $157,500 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Ohio State University to conduct research on the cellular mechanisms regulating tooth development. The research aims to determine how the signaling molecule SEMA7A influences the mineralization of dentin, elongation of tooth roots, and innervation of teeth. The study will use global and conditional SEMA7A knockout mouse...
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, is focused on studying the role of the SIX1 transcription factor in cell fate decisions within the mouse mandibular arch. The total funding amount is $315,289, with a project period from July 15, 2025 to July 14, 2027. The key objectives of this award are to: 1) Identify changes in cell populations within the mouse mandibular arch...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) federal grant program, will fund research at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the role of the TRPS1 transcription factor in regulating the formation and mineralization of dental tissues. The $593,468 award, spanning September 2024 to September 2026, aims to (1) determine how TRPS1 regulates communication between developing...

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), is funding research to define the role of the epigenetic regulator MLL4 in enamel development and its contribution to dental anomalies. The $320,200 award, granted to The Research Foundation for The State University of New York, will support a 2-year study using a mouse model to investigate how MLL4 coordinates gene expression during amelogenesis (enamel formation) and why mutations in MLL4, as seen in Kabuki syndrome, lead to enamel defects. The findings from this research could identify novel therapeutic targets for amelogenesis imperfecta and other congenital dental disorders.
