This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), aims to develop a novel therapeutic approach to improve angiogenesis and wound healing by delivering apoptotic neutrophils within a degradable hydrogel scaffold. The $172,700 award, effective August 20, 2024 through July 31, 2026, supports research to investigate the effects of the hydrogel-apoptotic neutrophil delivery on macrophage angiogenic signaling and its impact...

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 $570,878 to the University of Rochester to conduct research on modulating myofibroblast dynamics during tendon healing. The key focus is to define the efficacy of pharmacological activation of the GPR68 receptor in regulating the tenocyte-myofibroblast transition and subsequent tendon healing processes. The research will also investigate the cell-type specific functions of GPR68, particularly in macrophages, and how they influence myofibroblast behavior during physiological and fibrotic tendon healing. This high-risk, high-reward project aims to fill critical knowledge gaps and establish a novel pharmacological approach to enhance tendon healing. The award period runs from August 15, 2024 to May 31, 2026.
