The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $159,512 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Florida to investigate the mechanisms underlying age-related decline in physical function. The research aims to determine if elevated levels of the metabolite L-kynurenine and increased activity of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) play a causal role in the deterioration of muscle and physical performance during aging. Using novel mouse models, the project will evaluate if...
This $548,212 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports research at the University of Rochester to investigate the role of cellular senescence in aging-related bone fractures. The project aims to fully characterize a specific subset of senescent cells that impair fracture healing, and examine how these cells affect fracture repair in aged mice by regulating key cellular pathways. The research seeks to elucidate new mechanisms...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has awarded a $1,510,410 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The goal of this 5-year grant, effective August 1, 2024, is to leverage novel tools and mouse models to better define the mechanisms driving cellular senescence in the bone microenvironment and characterize the key senescent cell populations that contribute to skeletal aging. The research aims to: 1) Characterize in detail the heterogeneous...
This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $287,218.16 in funding to the University of Maryland, Baltimore from August 1, 2021 through March 27, 2022. The award supports research aimed at better understanding the impact of aging on muscle excitability and action potential conduction velocity. Specifically, the recipient will use electrophysiology techniques and optical imaging to examine...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a 5-year, $688,634 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to The Hospital for Special Surgery Fund, Inc. (HSS Foundation). The grant supports research into the mechanisms by which the constitutive type-I interferon (IFN-I) response in osteoblasts and osteocytes suppresses bone formation, particularly in the context of aging and inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. The research aims to elucidate the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $110,992 will support research at the University of California, Davis to investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-2a (HIF-2a) signaling in age-induced bone loss and osteoporosis. The research aims to establish the relationship between HIF-2a expression and senescent gene signatures in osteocytes during skeletal aging, demonstrate that osteocyte HIF-2a stabilization drives a...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,496,003.00 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research on the brain-bone axis and its influence on skeletal health. The project aims to identify a brain-derived humoral factor that increases bone mass and decreases bone fat, two opposing features of skeletal aging. Using in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models, the research team will...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $387,006.00 to Emory University to conduct research on how indoles, molecules secreted by commensal gut bacteria, can promote mobility and limit muscle wasting in aging animals. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which indoles act via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) to maintain muscle protein homeostasis, mitochondrial function, and overall mobility in aging organisms,...
This $1,905,716 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to New York University (NYU) School of Medicine. The 5-year grant, effective August 1, 2024, will support research to investigate the mechanisms regulating inflammatory responses in skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs) and the role of anti-inflammatory factors in mitigating age-related SSPC dysfunction and bone degeneration. Key objectives of the...
The National Institute on Aging, under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $719,873 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the role of epigenetic changes in osteoblasts (bone cells) in promoting age-related clonal hematopoiesis and the development of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The research aims to delineate how epigenetically modified stromal cells and osteoblasts promote...
