This federal Project Grant award of $550,909.00 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 intrinsic and extrinsic factors that regulate the competition for active TGFβ, which promotes the fitness of skin-resident memory CD8 T cells. The research aims to understand the basic biology of these resident memory T cells in the skin, including how...

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), will provide $198,426 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to create and validate mouse models that genetically and phenotypically recapitulate Pachyonychia Congenita (PC), a rare and debilitating skin disorder. The two-year project aims to develop transgenic mouse strains carrying PC-causing mutations in the KRT16 and KRT6A genes, which account for over 50% of known PC cases in humans. The goal is to create an in vivo platform to better understand the pathophysiology of PC and facilitate the development and testing of novel therapies for this orphan disease. This award represents a critical step in addressing the lack of relevant animal models that has hindered research progress on PC.
