This $126,174 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports a research project conducted by the University of California, Davis to investigate local immune responses and granulopoiesis (production of neutrophils) in the skin using a novel skin-on-a-chip model. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) Demonstrate that the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling axis, which regulates hematopoietic stem and...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $100,138 project grant (CFDA# 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to Harvard Medical School to investigate the role of Staphylococcus aureus-induced itch and neuro-immune signaling in driving skin barrier damage and immune responses in atopic dermatitis. The research project, running from August 2024 to July 2026, aims to define how S. aureus and its V8 protease impact skin...
This $230,212 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 support research to investigate how immune cells in the skin can drive functional heterogeneity in skin epithelial stem cells. The project aims to 1) examine how direct contact with dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC) mediates functional specification of stem cells within the hair...

This 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 support research to identify genetic abnormalities in skin T cells that contribute to atopic dermatitis in Asian and Hispanic populations. The total award amount is $343,904, with a project period from Sep 20, 2024 to Aug 31, 2025. The award recipient is The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco, a leading academic medical center and research institution. The research aims to validate an abnormal atopic T cell signature in diverse genetic backgrounds and experimentally test if specific genes in this signature can induce a Th2 cell identity, using advanced techniques like CRISPR/Cas9 gene activation and single-cell spatial transcriptomics. The expected outcome is a population- and mechanism-validated set of genetic abnormalities that characterize atopic dermatitis in Asian and Hispanic patients, which could guide more personalized treatment approaches and help reduce the substantial burden of this disease in non-European populations.
