This Project Grant award of $3,069,994.00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121), supports a multi-faceted research program focused on elucidating the role of skeletal stem cell plasticity in craniofacial bone diseases. The primary awardee, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, will investigate the fates and functions of periosteal and endosteal stem cells in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program, provides $513,574 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study the mechanisms and genetic factors underlying osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). The research aims to: (1) elucidate the cellular and molecular drivers of ONJ, particularly the role of the ATRAID gene, in patients taking anti-resorptive medications like...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $343,801 to the University of Southern California to conduct research on the roles of HSD3B7 and FOXP2 in lower jaw development. The research aims to elucidate novel mechanisms by which skeletal and connective tissue fates are balanced in the vertebrate jaw, focusing on how the nuclear hormone receptor NR5A2 and...
This Project Grant award of $476,287.00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to investigate the role of the receptor tyrosine kinase MERTK in alveolar bone regeneration. The key objectives are to determine how MERTK signaling affects resident alveolar bone stem cells and modulates the recruitment and phenotype of immune cells in the extraction socket, in order to...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), aims to investigate the mechanisms behind varied success of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in palatal versus mandibular bone repair. The $129,420 award to The Leland Stanford Junior University, which runs from March 2025 to February 2027, focuses on two key objectives: 1) identifying how BMP-2-based palatal...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will fund a research project focused on understanding the microbial ecosystem around dental implants and preventing the development of peri-implantitis, a disease that leads to implant failure. The $675,684 award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025, will support the Regents of the University of...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $161,762.00 and awarded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research on the role of the NG2/CSPG4 protein in the healing of endochondral fractures in the mandible. The research aims to define the specific molecular pathways by which NG2/CSPG4 regulates the differentiation of osteochondral progenitor cells during fracture repair, with the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $503,648 to The University of Iowa to conduct research on identifying transcriptional interplay between skin and oral ectoderm during mandibular patterning. The key objectives are to determine how transcription factors drive the specification of oral/dental or skin fates within the mandibular ectoderm, identify...
This federal Project Grant award of $533,675.00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research aimed at improving bone regeneration and modulating cellular senescence in radiation-damaged jawbones. The awardee, Trustees of Dartmouth College, will develop a combined 3D-printed mineral scaffold and cryogel construct to enhance bone formation and mitigate the detrimental effects...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), awarded a $613,736 Project Grant to Cayman Chemical Co Inc. to develop novel osteogenic small-molecule pharmacotherapies for local delivery that stimulate alveolar bone regeneration. The goal is to address the clinical need for improved treatments for periodontitis-related bone resorption, especially in aging populations. The project leverages Cayman...
