- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Indiana University Indianapolis $3,126,515 on August 15, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support research investigating a novel inter-tissue L-BAIBA/FGF23 (L-beta-aminoisobutyric acid/fibroblast growth factor 23) signaling axis as a therapeutic target for enhancing musculoskeletal remodeling in aging populations. The research project, with a completion date of May 31, 2029, will generate...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Duke University $470,881 on August 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate reductive tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolism in muscle stem cell aging. The research examines glutamine metabolism pathways in muscle stem cells and how age-related dysfunction in these pathways impairs tissue regeneration. The project uses stable isotope-enabled metabolic flux analysis to characterize both oxidative and reductive glutamine...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Florida $540,345 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support research into a metabolic sensor-driven metabolite repair system that maintains muscle stem cell homeostasis. The research addresses loss of skeletal muscle stem cell function as a central driver of impaired regeneration, progressive muscle wasting, and frailty in aging, muscular dystrophies, and metabolic diseases. The project investigates...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $466,125 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on January 15, 2026, to develop innovative magnetic resonance imaging analysis tools for identifying microstructural biomarkers of skeletal muscle health across the lifespan. The project, titled "(Micro)structural Biomarkers of Skeletal Muscle Health Across the Lifespan," addresses sarcopenia—a leading cause of disability and mortality in aging populations—by creating...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Indiana University Indianapolis $109,795 on August 20, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to evaluate amyloid dynamics and cerebral amyloid angiopathy burden.
