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 $443,576 to the University of Washington to develop bioengineered 3D tooth germs for tooth regeneration research. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how biomaterial composition and mechanical properties regulate stem cell renewal and support long-term growth of odontogenic epithelial stem cells and neural...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $157,500 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Ohio State University to conduct research on the cellular mechanisms regulating tooth development. The research aims to determine how the signaling molecule SEMA7A influences the mineralization of dentin, elongation of tooth roots, and innervation of teeth. The study will use global and conditional SEMA7A knockout mouse...
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 $115,992 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to develop human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived salivary gland organoids (SGOs) with secretory function and well-defined architecture. The project aims to utilize engineered viscoelastic hydrogels to optimize the...
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 $1,849,232.90 to The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) to identify the cellular and molecular identity of genes and pathways defining dental mesenchymal cell differentiation and fate early in tooth development. The goal is to harness this information to develop potential...
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 $697,288 to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center to conduct research on a novel GTPase regulator that governs the regenerative capacity of murine (mouse) teeth. The research aims to: 1) determine the role of this regulator, called DIN, and the cell fate of DIN-positive versus DIN-negative...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $421,800 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to Midwestern University. The purpose of this 3-year grant, with a start date of September 7, 2023, is to develop hybrid hydrogel-based dental adhesives that are less vulnerable to hydrolytic degradation compared to current methacrylate-based alternatives. The goal is to create a truly biomimetic dental adhesive that can not only...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $2,539,292 project grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121) to the ADA Forsyth Institute, Inc. (The Forsyth Institute) to develop a novel operational platform and suite of multifunctional dental restoration materials. The key products and services to be delivered include: Creating a self-improving, universal dental adhesive that enhances its bond to tooth structure through...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $150,989 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program to The Research Foundation for The State University of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University. The goal of this 2-year project is to develop an automated tool to detect and characterize arterial calcifications in dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. This research aims to establish quantifiable imaging...
This federal Project Grant award of $503,648 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to investigate the genetic mechanisms driving the specification of oral/dental and skin lineages in the mandibular ectoderm. The research aims to determine how transcription factor interactions regulate these epithelial patterning processes, including identifying the chromatin-level regulation...
This 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 novel therapies for endogenous periodontal regeneration. The $1,705,144 award to the University of Pittsburgh will fund research to 1) identify specific cell surface markers to isolate and characterize human PRX1-expressing periodontal stem cells, 2) develop a strategy to harness these stem cells for complete...
