- The federal Project Grant award of $649,391 provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) is supporting research to enhance healing after injury. The overarching objective is to define the mechanisms that restrain tissue regeneration in order to develop new therapeutics to improve healing of the gut and skin following injury or infection. The 5-year project, which...
- This $177,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research (CFDA 93.846) program, supports research to investigate genetic determinants of chondrocyte maturation and its impact on skeletal growth disorders. The research at Boston Children's Hospital, a premier pediatric medical research institution, leverages a high-throughput screening approach to identify novel...
- The federal Project Grant award of $426,889.00 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) supports research into the molecular regulatory mechanisms of a cartilage-enriched G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) named ADGRG6 and its role in maintaining joint and cartilage homeostasis. The project, awarded to the University of Southern California, aims to investigate the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,948,116.00 was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The award supports research into post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression during bone regeneration, with a focus on understanding the expression patterns and biological functions of the protein Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) during fracture healing. The research...
- The U.S. National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a Project Grant of $413,655 on August 1, 2025 to Arizona State University (ASU) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The grant will fund research to develop biomaterials with temporal control of proteins, such as Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs), to enhance bone repair. The research aims to mimic natural extracellular matrix interactions and synergies...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $196,460.00, was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The purpose of the award is to test a miniature knee joint system as a new tool to study the role of neuro-immune interactions in osteoarthritis pain. The University of Pittsburgh, the awardee, will use this novel microphysiological system with cartilage,...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.846), is intended to elucidate the effects of blood and blood-derived components on meniscus tissue homeostasis, repair, and post-traumatic osteoarthritis development. The $487,652 award to Duke University will fund research to investigate the mechanisms by which blood-derived immune...
- This $219,609 project grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) is aimed at developing a method to assess mechanical failure of bone matrix using in vitro cell culture. The primary goal is to overcome the current challenge of requiring whole mouse bone specimens to detect changes in bone matrix mechanical properties, by using micropillars generated from...
This federal Project Grant award of $570,174 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) supports the development and evaluation of a zonal-specific mineralized scaffold optimal for osteochondral (OC) tissue regeneration. The research aims to mimic the hierarchical microstructure and composition of native OC tissue, which consists of articular cartilage and subchondral bone with zonal-dependent mineralization. The central hypothesis is that a progenitor cell-seeded multizonal scaffold can enhance OC regeneration by controlling the mineralization of collagen. The award period runs from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
