We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Characterization of Cellular and Molecular Components of Intestinal Niche @ Stowers Institute For Medical Research
Project Summary/Abstract Characterized by rapid and continual turnover, the intestine provides an elegant system for the study of cells which self-renew and regenerate, and thus hold great promise for regenerative medicine. Studies have provided important insight regarding the capacity of intestinal stem cells for self-repair or healing as well as ongoing maintenance and differentiation into all the various intestinal cell types. However, considerable research is needed to better understand how to treat intestinal disorders. Many intestinal disorders are due to defects in the stem cells or progenitor cells (which are more specific than stem cells) or to misdirected signals provided by the niche, the microenvironment which helps to regulate stem and progenitor cell behavior. Defining the essential cellular niche components and the associated key signals that direct stem and progenitor cells to proliferate and differentiate will be an innovative and important step toward treating intestinal disorders with regenerative medicine. The overall mission of the Intestinal Stem Cell Consortium (ISCC) is to characterize the niche components that support intestinal stem cells in health and disease, using an integrated, multidisciplinary team science approach, with the vision of developing novel therapies targeting intestinal stem cells and supportive niche to regenerate and rebuild the human intestine. To achieve the ultimate goals of pre-clinical development of both humoral and tissue therapy, the research project proposed herein will contribute with the following specific aims: to characterize cellular components and molecular signals of the intestinal niche network under both homeostasis and stress conditions, and to define these in the mouse model to provide an insight into human organoid growth. Methods to be used include bulk and single cell RNA-seq analyses, RNA-scope, 3D immunofluorescent imaging, and 3D organoid culture.
