This application is in response to RFA-AT-14-003, 'Clinical trials and interventional studies of non- pharmacological approaches to managing pain and co-morbid conditions in U.S. Military personnel, Veterans, and their families.' Rates of chronic pain have steadily increased among service members deployed for Operations Enduring Freedom (OEF), Iraqi Freedom (OIF), and New Dawn (OND).

The Development of a Dynamic Finite Element Model of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and Study of Joint Mechanics

There are three major accomplishments resulting from this project that significantly advance the field of TMJ biomechanics and will form the basis of a new research project. First, we have developed a high-fidelity, anatomically accurate, finite-element model of TMJ mechanics that is governed by the internal generation of muscle forces to achieve a specific functional goal (such as chewing), paralleling how functional joint motion is produced in vivo (Figure 1).

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response After Acute Brain Injury

The proposed research investigates novel molecular targets and processes that promise to minimize brain damage after cerebral ischemic stroke (CIS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Current therapeutic strategies to combat acute brain injuries have been largely unsuccessful. We discovered that the Ca2+ dependent phosphatase calcineurin (CN) can bind to PERK, a stress sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), increases its auto-phosphorylation and enhance a cellular process called the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR).
