The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $296,256 Project Grant (CFDA 93.846) to Advanced Molecular Healix Inc., a small disadvantaged business, to develop a novel therapeutic strategy using HIF-1α mRNA to promote vascular perfusion and survival of pedicle flaps in wound healing.

The research project aims to quantify HIF-1α mRNA expression and downstream gene induction following intradermal injection in animal models, and then assess the in vivo efficacy of the HIF-1α mRNA therapeutics in Sprague Dawley rat and porcine pedicle flap surgery models. The goal is to create an innovative approach that leverages mRNA technology to enhance cell survival and revascularization in pedicle flaps, which are critical for successful wound repair and reconstruction. The award period is from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026.
