This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), funded under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), aims to investigate the mechanisms regulating regeneration and restoration of chemosensory neuron cilia. The $434,411 award to Brandeis University will fund a 2-year exploratory research project to characterize the factors driving cilia regrowth in sensory neurons and identify new regulatory pathways. The research seeks to advance understanding of how cilia structure and function can be restored following injury or infection, which has implications for conditions like anosmia associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The project leverages the experimental amenability of the C. elegans model system to systematically investigate cilia regeneration sensors, transducers, and effectors in specialized neuronal cell types.
