This Project Grant award for $400,387 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121) to the University of Wisconsin System on August 9, 2024. The award will support research to define the pathogenesis of Sjögren's disease by examining the role of salivary gland mesenchymal stromal cells (SG-MSCs) in different disease endotypes. The research aims to determine the signaling...
This $231,492 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), aims to develop an in vitro Salivary Gland Sjogren's Syndrome (SS) Tissue Chip (SSTC) platform. The SSTC will utilize microbubble array technology and the MRL/lpr mouse model to investigate the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on the growth and function of salivary gland tissue mimetics. The project will also...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a 5-year, $628,965 Project Grant (CFDA 93.121 - Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to study how immune cells, specifically macrophages, regulate the development and differentiation of salivary gland cells. The research aims to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which macrophages govern salivary gland progenitor dynamics and epithelial cell patterning,...
The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) has been awarded a $300,000 "Trans-NIH Research Support" Project Grant (CFDA 93.310) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director. The purpose of this 1-year award, effective September 1, 2023, is to investigate the role of cellular senescence and associated inflammatory signaling (the senescence-associated secretory phenotype or SASP) in promoting salivary gland dysfunction in Sjogren's...
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), supports research to develop a saliva-based electrochemical assay (EFIRM) for early detection of Sjögren's disease (SjD) and autoimmune-sicca syndrome (AI-sicca). The $260,375 award will enable the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to: 1) acquire and characterize clinical cohorts of SjD, AI-sicca, and healthy...
This $162,216 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) supports the ADA Forsyth Institute's research to investigate microbe-microbe interactions within the oral microbiome. The study aims to employ a combination of expansion microscopy and multiplex FISH imaging to analyze microbial organization and quantify adhesion forces at the single-cell level. This approach...
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 will provide $248,999 to investigate the role of tuft cells in salivary gland immunity. The key objectives are to: Explore the distribution and function of tuft cells in salivary gland epithelium using advanced microscopy and in vivo experiments. Determine the chemosensory components of tuft cells in the salivary gland using...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $226,500 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Medical University of South Carolina. The goal of this 2-year research project is to define how oral pathogens affect aging-associated immune responses and determine if inhibition of the CD38 enzyme can alleviate inflammatory bone loss and aging-associated immune responses induced by oral bacteria. The researchers will...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $109,548 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The grant supports a research project focused on investigating the role of myeloid cells in the evolution of precancerous oral lesions to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The project aims to develop a preclinical mouse model to study the transition from...
This Project Grant award of $115,992 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports the development of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived salivary gland organoids with secretory function and well-defined architecture. The key objectives are to: 1) Utilize engineered viscoelastic hydrogels to optimize the generation and differentiation of salivary gland epithelial progenitor...
