This 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), provides $1,288,152 to Tufts University School of Medicine to develop a novel screening approach called "JOINTSEQ" for identifying nanoparticles (NPs) that can precisely target specific cell types in the osteoarthritis (OA) joint environment. The project aims to create a library of...
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 program (CFDA 93.846), will provide $196,460 to the University of Pittsburgh to test a novel microphysiological system as a tool to study neuroimmune interactions in osteoarthritis pain. The goal is to use this system, which includes cartilage, synovial-like, and innervated tissue, to investigate the influence...
This $426,250 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota aims to develop an exosome-based therapy for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). The project will leverage the immunoregulatory mechanisms present during fetal development to identify multi-tissue organoid-derived exosomes with anti-inflammatory and chondrocyte proliferation potential. Key activities include in vitro studies using human PBMCs to...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $1,066,302 Project Grant under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) to the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The grant, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2029, will fund the creation of a biomedical knowledgebase to promote and facilitate the use of the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), a rich 16-year observational study with comprehensive...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $123,040 Project Grant under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) to investigate the therapeutic role of the NFAT1 transcription factor in osteoarthritis. The 5-year project, which began on August 1, 2024, aims to evaluate the potential of AAV-delivered NFAT1 gene therapy in treating...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) aims to define the systemic mechanisms by which adipose (fat) tissue communicates with the knee joint to drive the development of osteoarthritis (OA). The $1,476,001 award to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco will fund a comprehensive investigation of three potential interorgan crosstalk pathways: signaling through...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $639,997 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Corporation to investigate how exercise regulates molecular circuitry in cartilage and the knee joint to promote cartilage integrity and joint health in the context of knee osteoarthritis. The 5-year project aims to provide mechanistic insights into how molecular cargoes in circulating extracellular vesicles impact osteoarthritic knee joint health in a...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $206,023 Project Grant (CFDA 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to Cornell University to investigate mechanotransduction pathways in injured cartilage. The project aims to determine how local peak strain magnitude and manipulation of calcium-dependent signaling or mitochondrial bioenergetics affect the distribution of chondrocyte phenotypes after impact injury, using a novel...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $408,600.00 to Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University School of Medicine, to conduct research on the role of cytosolic DNA sensing in regulating tissue-resident macrophage function and organismal longevity. The key objectives of this research project are to: 1) Ascertain the role of endogenous retroelements in shaping tissue-resident macrophage survival and...
This 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), provides $456,808 to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging to develop innovative mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) technologies and perform deep proteomic profiling of bone tissues. The goal is to spatially visualize changes in the extracellular matrix and glycans related to osteoarthritis,...
