This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) provides $117,959 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on the impact of sex hormones and mechanical stretch on pelvic floor muscle structure and function during pregnancy and postpartum. The research involves two main components: 1) in vitro cell culture experiments to examine the...
This $734,639 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports research to determine the mechanisms of elastic fiber dynamics in the murine vagina, with a focus on the impact of age and injury. The project aims to: Identify the vaginal cell types that produce elastin during postpartum healing and whether production is constrained by age or injury. Elucidate the spatiotemporal dynamics of functional elastic fibers with and without...
This $1,459,877 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) aims to develop a bioinspired composite scaffold for repairing pubovisceral muscle enthesis (PVME) injuries in women following vaginal childbirth. The primary recipient, Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation, will utilize transperineal ultrasound, MRI shape modeling, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $497,016 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to conduct translational research on the mechanisms of oxytocin-mediated uterine contractility and uterine atony. The project aims to 1) determine the functional relationship between oxytocin and the TRPV4 calcium channel in normal uterine...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research to elucidate the role of hyaluronan matrices on the establishment and maintenance of ovarian reserve and reproductive longevity. The $232,308 award to the Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation in Pittsburgh, PA, will be used to test the hypothesis that the stromal...
This $2,495,639 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports the development of a novel regenerative therapy to treat Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), a highly prevalent condition affecting up to 85% of perimenopausal and menopausal women. The project aims to create a tissue-specific extracellular matrix hydrogel that can reverse vaginal atrophy and restore healthy vaginal tissue function when delivered topically or via injection....
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $131,085 and issued by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research to define the neural mechanisms that enable flexibility in innate social behaviors, with a focus on male mating in mice. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) delineate the afferent inputs onto preoptic hypothalamus neurons expressing tachykinin receptor 1,...
This $328,496 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports the development of a novel hydrogel film and applicator system to reduce pain experienced during sexual intercourse by women with vulvodynia and vestibulodynia. The goal is to create a non-pharmaceutical solution that can mitigate pain receptor activity and dissipate pressure on sensitive vulvar...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $643,049 to the University of Illinois to develop a physiomimetic model of the endometrioma lesion microenvironment. The objective is to investigate the processes responsible for the initiation and invasion of endometriosis lesions, which can lead to chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Specifically,...
