Title of Contract, Award, or Gift: Elastic Fiber Regeneration Potential During Postpartum Healing
Name of Granting or Contracting Agency/Entity:
Natl Science Foundation
CFDA Link: NSF
47.041
Program Title:
none
CFDA Linked: Engineering Grants
Note:
This award will support fundamental research to better understand how elastic fiber regeneration in the female reproductive system changes during postpartum healing and with aging. This award will also develop a new mathematical model to describe how elastic fiber regeneration controls tissue function. These elastic fibers are critical to the function of most soft biological tissues. Therefore, this model may also be used to better understand the mechanical behavior of other soft tissues that elastic fibers, such as the lungs, blood vessels, or skin.
