- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $3,531,593.00 to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to conduct research on the role of sex-specific genetic factors in the development and progression of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) within the Alzheimer's disease (AD)-affected brain. The research aims to: 1) identify sex-specific genetic markers of autopsy measures of brain vessel disease, 2) identify sex-specific genetic markers of...
- This $481,250 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) on September 1, 2024. The award supports the development of an innovative, non-invasive MRI imaging technique to assess membrane lipid properties in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The key objectives are to: 1) verify the relationship between the MRI nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) signal and lipid properties using reconstituted phospholipid...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $166,488 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis to investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-2a (HIF-2a) signaling in age-induced bone loss. The project aims to identify mechanisms underlying bone deterioration with aging and develop novel therapies to reverse age-related osteoporotic bone loss and improve fracture resistance. The project period runs from December...
- This $146,070 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research to investigate how the accumulation of senescent cells and their secretory phenotypes impact osteocyte mechanobiology in a 3D bone-mimicking microenvironment. The goals are to: (1) acquire experimental skills and career training to expand the researcher's program into cellular aging/senescence and molecular biology; (2) investigate how local vs. systemic senescent cells and...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $300,892 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to Vanderbilt University to computationally assess the impact of aging-related oxidative stress on the human proteome using a novel deep learning methodology. The project aims to build predictors for oxidation modification sites on proteins by first constructing a deep learning-based atomic protein structure embedding method. This...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $3,126,515 to Trustees of Indiana University in Indianapolis, IN to conduct research aimed at understanding how the L-BAIBA/FGF23 axis, an interaction between muscle and bone, can be targeted to enhance musculoskeletal health and resilience in aging populations. The research seeks to elucidate the mechanisms by which this muscle-bone signaling pathway becomes dysregulated with age, leading to...
- This federal Project Grant award for $1,249,147.00 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The grant is a collaborative effort between Epicypher, Inc., a biotechnology company in Durham, North Carolina, and Dr. Nicolas Young of Baylor College of Medicine to develop a novel platform called AgingPTM for studying aging-associated combinatorial histone post-translational modifications (ACPTMs) in tissue. This platform is intended to...
