This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,127,548 to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston to investigate the role of post-translational modifications of myosin and its chaperone UNC-45 in the development of sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and function. The project aims to use a combination of in vitro biochemical and biophysical assays, as well as in vivo techniques in the C. elegans model organism,...
This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support the development and evaluation of a 3D engineered muscle tissue model to study the metabolic response to muscle contraction in the context of aging. The University of Washington, a prominent research institution, will lead this 2-year project to: 1) examine the mitochondrial mechanisms underlying the decreased metabolic response to muscle contraction in aged human 3D engineered...
This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund research at the University of Washington to investigate genomic alterations in skeletal muscle associated with aging. The key objectives are to: Explore if alternative splicing of mRNA results in quantitative differential isoform changes associated with aging, potentially leading to increased expression of non-functional proteins relevant for healthy muscle function. The researchers...
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...
This Federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $245,434 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences to conduct research on the effects of weight loss interventions on muscle and bone health in older adults with obesity. The key objectives are to: 1) Develop an automated image analysis platform to measure muscle quantity and quality from computed tomography (CT) scans, and 2) Utilize the CT data to assess longitudinal changes in bone...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $159,512 to the University of Florida to conduct research on the role of the kynurenine pathway and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation in age-related physical decline and muscle weakness. The 16-month project will use novel genetic mouse models to investigate whether elevated kynurenine levels and increased AhR activity in skeletal muscle are mechanistic drivers of the decline in...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,545,208 to the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC) to conduct a 5-year research study on exercise response heterogeneity in older adults. The project aims to understand the mechanisms driving variability in older adults' responses to combined endurance and resistance training, with a focus on factors related to aging hallmarks like proteostasis, mitochondrial...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $3,343,725 to The Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Corporation to investigate the effects of muscle aging and activity on extracellular vesicle regulation of muscle regeneration. The primary goals are to: 1) examine how aging of the skeletal muscle extracellular matrix alters the molecular composition of muscle-derived extracellular vesicles and impacts muscle stem cell myogenicity and...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $3,161,352 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Colorado-Denver to investigate the heterogeneity of peripheral and cerebral vascular adaptations to exercise training with aging in women and men. The 5-year study, starting August 2024, will examine how age and sex differences impact the molecular signals and pathways underlying the systemic and local effects of aerobic exercise on endothelial and cerebral vascular...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research) provides $1,130,661.00 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying motor unit expansion, a compensatory process that preserves muscle function during aging and neurodegenerative conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The project aims to: (I) characterize how Schwann cell populations and their signaling...
