This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), part of the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121), aims to investigate the role of salivary PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) in accelerating oral wound healing. The $196,875 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026, will fund research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to characterize how these novel oral piRNAs modulate keratinocyte...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $249,000 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to Iowa State University of Science and Technology. The grant, running from August 16, 2024 to August 15, 2027, aims to elucidate the mechanism of action and impact of radical-S-adenosylmethionine ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RAS-RIPPs) produced by oral Streptococcus bacteria on the human...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $1 Project Grant to the Mayo Clinic under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program. The grant, titled "COMMON FUND GENE UTILITY COMPENDIUM: A SYSTEMS BIOLOGY RESOURCE TO EXPLORE TISSUE-SPECIFIC FUNCTIONAL GENES AND DRUGGABLE GENOMES," aims to leverage NIH Common Fund datasets to identify tissue-specific druggable functional genes (TS-DFGs) that play critical roles in diseases like liver...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $889,616 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The grant, with a project period from September 16, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will support research to investigate the localization of specific migratory RNAs within neural crest cell protrusions and their role in directed cell migration. The research aims to provide insights into the...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $245,504 Project Grant (CFDA 93.121 - Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to develop new transgenic mouse models and conduct pre-clinical evaluation of a novel small molecule inhibitor targeting the stress-specific function of the Replication Protein A (RPA) complex in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) treatment. The research aims to explore the potential...
This Project Grant award of $155,500 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) will support a comprehensive examination of the oral virome and its interactions with the microbiome. The research aims to shed light on the role of viruses in maintaining oral health and contributing to disease, with the potential to inform the development of alternative treatments such as phage therapies. By mining...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121), has awarded a Project Grant of $667,998 to Oridivus LLC. The grant, effective from July 16, 2024 to July 15, 2025, is for the development of an "Innovative Oral Regenerative Therapy Leveraging Immunoregenerative Mechanisms." The project aims to compare the efficacy of FTY720 nanofibers (FTY720-NF) versus platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in...
This Project Grant award of $158,500 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to investigate the impact of diabetes on oral epithelial stem cells and their role in delayed wound healing. The project aims to determine how diabetes disrupts the microenvironment and function of oral epithelial stem cells, leading to compromised epithelial barrier function and...
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), is focused on developing bioengineered 3D tooth germs for tooth regeneration. The $443,576 award will support research to regulate the self-renewal and differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into odontogenic epithelial stem cells (OESCs) and neural crest cells (NCCs), and co-culture these stem...
This federal Project Grant award for $161,762, provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to understand the role of the NG2/CSPG4 protein in the healing process of endochondral fractures in the mandible. The research plan utilizes a preclinical murine model to define how this transmembrane proteoglycan regulates the differentiation of osteochondral progenitor cells during...
