This federal Project Grant award of $1,324,515 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will support research to uncover how zinc regulates sperm swimming and fertilization. The central hypothesis is that zinc derived from seminal fluid and the egg at fertilization regulates sperm processes between mating and fertilization. The research will pursue three specific aims: 1)...
This federal Project Grant award of $2,228,898 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports the development of a microwell device and deep learning framework to enable accurate, reliable, and consistent sperm identification and retrieval. The award aims to address the challenges faced by individuals with azoospermia, a condition where semen lacks sperm, which impacts up to...
This Project Grant award, totaling $658,633, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to support research into the mechanisms of the MEIG1 protein complex in mammalian spermiogenesis and fertilization. The research aims to explore how the MEIG1 complex plays a role in transporting cargo proteins for sperm flagella assembly and in remodeling chromatin during the final...
This $674,095 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to develop a novel in vivo imaging technology to directly observe and better understand multiple aspects of fertilization within the mouse fallopian tube. The primary awardee, Baylor College of Medicine, will leverage expertise in live functional optical imaging and reproductive biology to enable quantitative functional...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support research to understand the relationship between the establishment of chromatin structure in male gametes (sperm cells) and the regulation of their function. The $1,713,959 award to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, a private non-profit educational institution, will fund a...
This $986,581.00 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports research on the contribution of the paternal histone epigenome to embryo development and pregnancy loss. The project aims to: Establish the baseline paternal histone epigenome in fertile bulls Determine if the paternal histone epigenome is altered in low-fertility bulls Investigate changes to...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $1,407,333.00 and granted by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research into the role of the protein Rho kinase (ROK) and its substrate Combover (CMB) in male gametogenesis in Drosophila. The research aims to investigate the hypothesis that CMB, acting downstream of ROK, coordinates the cytoskeleton with the plasma...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $380,546 to support research on post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in spermatogonial stem and progenitor cells. The research aims to define how RNA-binding proteins and mRNA degradation mechanisms interact with transcriptional networks to regulate cell state transitions during spermatogenesis, with potential implications...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will fund research to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying fertilization and egg activation in the C. elegans model system. The primary researcher will use a forward genetic screen to identify novel genes involved in sperm-egg binding, fusion, and egg activation. This $133,207 award,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to determine how male germ cells (MGCs) in the fetal stage respond to and repair double-strand DNA breaks. The $107,458 award to Duke University will fund research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying MGC DNA damage repair and its implications for the development of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), which supply sperm...
