- This federal Project Grant award of $646,506 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) is supporting the development of dual-action nanoparticle-loaded microparticles for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). The research aims to create innovative nanoparticle-based therapeutics that can stimulate the anabolic activity of chondroprogenitors to enhance cartilage...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), is supporting the development of an intraarticular (injectable) Wnt inhibitor therapy for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). OA is a common and debilitating joint disease affecting nearly 21 million people in the U.S. The $314,363 award, made on September 16, 2025, will fund the...
- This $527,760 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) will fund research on the role of endogenous retroviruses in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The award to the University of California, San Francisco will support a study to identify the specific antigens and mechanisms by which self-reactive T cells evade tolerance and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) supports research to investigate the molecular mechanisms of TAK1 regulation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The $1,407,925 award to Washington State University, effective August 12, 2025 through July 31, 2028, will focus on understanding how TAK1, a key signaling mediator, regulates the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,950,412.00 was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.846), to Wake Forest University Health Sciences. The funding supports research to define how the IRE1A-XBP1-NUPR1 signaling axis in immune cells and chondrocytes contributes to synovial inflammation, cartilage damage, and osteoarthritis pain. The...
- The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $170,101 Project Grant (CFDA 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to Brigham & Women's Hospital, a subsidiary of Partners Healthcare System, for a project titled "Dissecting the Spatial Heterogeneity of Synovial Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis". The project aims to systematically characterize the spatial heterogeneity of synovial inflammation in rheumatoid...
This $297,327 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), supports Navega Therapeutics, Inc. in reformulating their NT-Z001 gene therapy to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The goal is to enable localized joint injections instead of the more invasive intrathecal delivery route. NT-Z001 targets the NAV1.7 sodium channel, a key mediator of pain, with the aim of providing durable pain relief and addressing inflammation, macrophage infiltration, nerve sprouting, and joint remodeling associated with rheumatoid arthritis. The research plan involves evaluating viral delivery approaches to effectively localize NT-Z001 in the dorsal root ganglia after joint injections, and testing the best-performing formulation in a collagen-induced arthritis model to assess its impact on mechanical allodynia, inflammation, and joint pathology. If successful, this project could advance a novel, non-addictive pain management solution targeting the underlying mechanisms of chronic pain in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
