- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,000,000 in funding to Tufts University to study how a factor secreted from muscle regulates levels of neurotransmitter receptors in neurons that control movement in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. The research aims to advance scientific understanding of how muscle releases factors that signal to the brain to control communication between neurons, which may provide...
- This $454,938 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to define the impact of exercise on the aging nervous system. The project, led by Rutgers, The State University, will leverage the C. elegans worm model to characterize how regular exercise protects the nervous system against age-related dysfunction, including neuronal hyperactivity similar to brain aging in mammals. The research aims to elucidate the molecular...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,358,537.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a research project titled "Epigenetic Aging, Cognitive Function and Exercise in Older Adults" at the University of Pittsburgh. The project aims to investigate the impact of exercise on epigenetic aging and its relationship to cognitive function, brain health, and Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in non-cognitively impaired older adults. The award period runs from...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $399,146 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop a bioreactor system for conducting research on the effects of microgravity and aging on neuromuscular function.
