The University of Michigan received a $449,996 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041) effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The award funds research to understand the role of nuclear speckles in muscle stem cells through combined application of cellular engineering, biomaterials, bioinformatics, and genomic assays. The research will investigate how ribonucleic acids (RNAs) interact with nuclear speckles and examine the effects of interrupting those interactions, with the goal of uncovering molecular mechanisms underlying age-related decline in adult stem cell function and regenerative capacity. The project is expected to generate scientific insights applicable to addressing age-related muscle weakness and injury. In addition to its research mission, the award supports an educational outreach component designed to engage elementary school students through the development and distribution of illustrated coloring books featuring anatomy and cellular processes. These educational materials are designed to introduce engineering and biotechnology concepts to young learners in an accessible format to stimulate interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. The research will be conducted at the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus under the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
