Description

The goal of this initiative is to encourage research focused on deciphering the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) pain and tissue dysfunction using single-cell omics approaches. Delineation of cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate TMJD resolution and homeostasis are also desired. Identification of cell populations and their effector pathways, in TMJD target tissue (e.g. synovial fluid, muscle, skin), as 1) molecular disease classifiers allowing for patient stratification, 2) diagnostic, prognostic, and/or predictive biomarkers, and/or 3) novel therapeutic targets are desired outcomes of this initiative.
