This federal Project Grant award of $1,386,899.00 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program. The grant aims to define how Sjögren's disease endotypes modify the immunobiology of salivary gland mesenchymal stromal cells, comparing mouse and human models. The research will use JAK inhibitors as immunopharmacological probes to determine the signaling pathways driving maladaptive 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 $231,492 to develop an in vitro salivary gland Sjogren's syndrome (SS) tissue chip (SSTC) platform. The goal is to use this SSTC platform to investigate the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on the growth and function of salivary gland tissue mimetics. The project will also perform RNA sequencing studies...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), provides $248,750.00 to the ADA Forsyth Institute, Inc. (The Forsyth Institute) to investigate the role of cellular senescence in salivary gland dysfunction associated with Sjögren's syndrome. The research aims to determine the impact of cellular senescence on Sjögren's syndrome-related xerostomia (dry mouth) and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), provides $465,376 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to develop a saliva-based electrochemical assay for the early detection of Sjögren's disease (SJD) and its precursor autoimmune-sicca syndrome (AI-sicca). The key objectives are to: 1) detect anti-SSA/Ro52 and anti-SSB/La autoantibodies in the...
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), 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, is providing $429,000 to the University of South Alabama to conduct research on targeting phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) enzymes as a potential therapeutic approach for alleviating xerostomia (dry mouth) in Sjögren's syndrome. The research aims to evaluate the therapeutic benefits of selectively inhibiting specific PDE4 subtypes,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), part of the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $628,965.00 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai over a 5-year period from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2030. The funding supports research to elucidate how immune cells, specifically tissue-resident macrophages, regulate the coordinated processes of salivary gland development and differentiation. The...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $491,193 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the project "Engineering Mucin Analogues to Benefit the Mouth Environment." The project aims to create advanced mucin substitutes that closely emulate the physiological functions of natural salivary mucins, in order to develop enhanced artificial saliva...
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), is providing $409,960.00 to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center to develop a human salivary gland-on-a-chip model. The goal is to create a platform that can faithfully replicate normal salivary gland function as well as model the effects of radiation-induced damage, in order to improve drug development efforts...
