Description

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages state-of-the-art, systematic research approaches to elucidate the role of immune system plasticity in health and in the pathogenesis of dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) diseases. This FOA solicits applications that will seek to determine mechanisms underlying the ability or inability of the immune system to dynamically maintain its functional role against internal and external perturbations. The expectation is that new knowledge derived from this research will facilitate development of novel, personalized immunomodulatory-based therapies that shift the balance between degenerative and regenerative processes toward regeneration disease management in a patient-specific manner across the lifespan.
