Pathways to Impact workshops are designed to help researchers think about impact beyond the laboratory and the publication. The workshops will help PhD students, PostDocs, and Faculty members at universities adopt an entrepreneurial mindset to question how they ultimately hope their research and careers will make an impact. Unlike the Local, Regional, and National I-Corps programs, participants in Pathways to Impact workshops are not expected to have a technology commercialization idea in mind.

From the Osteology Foundation:
For the current Oral Regeneration Topic “Interdisciplinary strategies in dentistry”, Jeniffer Perussolo spoke with Karin Jepsen, the first author of our key publication “The effect of timing of orthodontic therapy on the outcomes of regenerative periodontal surgery in patients with stage IV periodontitis”. In this discussion, you’ll discover the benefits of combining orthodontic therapy with periodontal surgery.
According to Jepsen, when treating stage IV periodontitis, orthodontic therapy can be initiated as early as four weeks after regenerative surgery, with favourable outcomes and shorter overall treatment time. She outlines the prerequisites for this approach and discusses the future prospects for interdisciplinary treatment.
Don’t miss out on this must-listen interview and enhance your oral regeneration skills! Watch the video or listen to the podcast on THE BOX (free login required)! The podcast is also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
From the Osteology Foundation: In the current episode of the Next Regeneration Podcast, hosts Anina and Elena interview Hatice Hasturk about her pioneering work on specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) for treating periodontal diseases. It’s serious progress in the fight against inflammatory disorders.
From the Osteology Foundation: Every six months, we select a new Oral Regeneration Topic. With each topic, you’ll receive a comprehensive scientific overview presented in three distinct formats: the Key Publication Interview, a Webinar featuring an expert in the field, and the Scientific Radar, offering a concise literature overview of the most relevant scientific publications. Our current focus on “Interdisciplinary Strategies in Dentistry” kicks off with the Key Publication Interview of Karin Jepsen by Jeniffer Perussolo in early May. It will be followed by the webinar featuring Óscar González and moderated by Ana Molina in June.

The MPWRM Resource Center’s 6th Annual Stakeholder’s Summit was held on April 8-9, 2024, in Ann Arbor, MI, attended by more than 40 participants in-person, with more online. In addition to the presentations by the Interdisciplinary Translational Project (ITP) teams, new this year was the ITP Pitching Hour, where each ITP team gave a 5 minute pitch presentation.
The event also included a panel session on “Regenerative Therapies in the Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Space: Opportunities, Challenges, and Trends”, a conversation with 5 panelists on the topic of driving innovations in the dental/ oral/ craniofacial space and critical issues to consider.
Thank you to all attendees, both in-person and online. We hope you enjoyed the event, and look forward to seeing you at our future events!
C-DOCTOR celebrates Dr. Derrick Wan’s successful IND filing for their interdisciplinary translational project “Transdermal Deferoxamine to Enhance Fat Graft Retention for Reconstruction of Irradiated Soft Tissue Defects” (Deferoxamine Patch for Radiation-Injured Skin)!” Their team filed the IND application on November 30, 2023, and received their “study may proceed” letter on January 3, 2024, allowing them to begin their clinical trial. The Deferoxamine Patch for Radiation-Injured Skin ITP is the very first C-DOCTOR ITP to successfully file an IND application since C-DOCTOR has been established. This is a landmark achievement for Dr. Wan, C-DOCTOR, and DOCTRC (Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Tissue Regeneration Consortium). C-DOCTOR has worked diligently and efficiently with the Wan ITP team to ensure that they have all the necessary resources to file a successful IND and graduate from the C-DOCTOR program.

Foreign Disclosure Requirements for SBIR/STTR Applications Received on/after September 5, 2023
When the SBIR, STTR, and related pilot programs were reauthorized for FY2023-2025, the SBIR and STTR Extension Act of 2022 made several changes to the SBIR and STTR programs. Policy changes were announced June 12 through this Notice: Implementation of the NIH SBIR and STTR Foreign Disclosure Pre-award and Post-Award Requirements (NOT-OD-23-139).
Key elements include:
disclosure requirements regarding ties to foreign countries,
a requirement for federal agencies that manage SBIR and STTR programs to establish a due diligence program to assess security risks posed by applicants, and
denial of award and recovery authority provisions when ties to foreign countries of concern pose a significant risk.
This policy applies to all NIH, CDC, FDA, and ACL competing applications for SBIR or STTR funding on or after September 5, 2023. More information and resources will be provided in the near future.

Our very own MPWRM Resource Center Principal Investigator, Dr. Will Giannobile, is featured on the latest episode of “Legends” podcast. Dr. Giannobile’s journey from Missouri to his pioneering work in tissue engineering is explored, shedding light on the role of molecular growth factors and becoming dean of one of the most prestigious dental schools in the world. Dr. Giannobile talks about the transformative shifts in periodontal treatment, health economics, and the imminent role of AI in shaping the future of dentistry.
Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the University of Washington in Seattle led this effort.
“This is a critical first step to our long-term goal to develop stem cell-based treatments to repair damaged teeth and regenerate those that are lost,” said Hai Zhang, professor of restorative dentistry at the UW School of Dentistry and one of the co-authors of the paper describing the research.

Across the lifespan, there is a strong connection between dental health and overall health. But the nature of that connection — the specific challenges and risks — changes over time. An infographic from CareQuest Institute summarizes research on these connections, from pregnancy through older adulthood.

Preventing muscle atrophy – Harvard scientists have developed an adhesive that makes muscles move.
One of our ITP teams, Ostiio, LLC, has been awarded a National Institute of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant for $300,000 to advance research & development of their smart, fully subcutaneous distraction system. This award, building on the work previously supported by the ITP and NSF, is aimed to demonstrate that a miniaturized implant continues to achieve clinically defined expansion force requirements in an expanded set of use cases. Congratulations!
Bioengineers have developed a mechanically active adhesive named MAGENTA, which functions as a soft robotic device able to extend and contract muscles from the outside. In an animal model, MAGENTA successfully prevented and supported the recovery from muscle atrophy.
“Osteoporotic fractures greatly reduce quality of life, and immobilization following a fracture can lead to further bone loss, which puts patients at risk for breaking another bone. To help patients recover quicker, RevBio developed a potential new therapeutic device, a patented bone adhesive called Tetranite®, that promotes bone growth. In an investigation launching on SpaceX’s 26th Commercial Resupply Services mission (SpaceX CRS-26), the company will examine how well Tetranite® works to regenerate new bone during spaceflight.”
Check out the podcast, “The Next ReGeneration”. On the third episode, Daniel Thoma talks about the highly controversial topic of preclinical research, how it has changed over time, where there is still value in conducting preclinical research, and where it has been replaced.
