This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $437,366 to the University of Louisville to conduct research on the effects of lipid metabolism on stem cell niche homeostasis. The objective is to understand how age-related changes in lipid accumulation and signaling pathways impact the maintenance and function of stem cell niches, with a focus on the Drosophila testis model. The research will test if suppressing the activation of key lipid...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) to the University of Washington provides $647,672 in funding to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying the reversal of cardiac aging by urolithin A treatment. The project aims to investigate mitochondrial dysfunction in the aging heart, which is thought to be a key contributor to the decline in cardiovascular function with age. The research will focus on understanding how urolithin A, a natural...
This Project Grant award of $771,750 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the role of macrophages in regulating cardiac muscle metabolism after myocardial infarction. The key goals are to: Examine how macrophages recruited to the infarcted heart disrupt cardiac muscle metabolism and decrease NAD pools, which are critical for cardiac energetics....
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 federal Project Grant award of $416,625 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will support research at Saint Louis University (SLU) to investigate the effects of aging, sex, and hormonal status on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). The key objectives are to: 1) comprehensively map inflammatory cell profiles and cell-cell communication networks in atherosclerotic plaques of young and old male and female mice, including old...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $3,161,352 project grant (R01AG089069) to the University of Colorado-Denver. The 5-year grant, beginning on August 15, 2024, will fund a randomized controlled trial to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the heterogeneous effects of aerobic exercise training on peripheral and cerebrovascular function in adults of different ages and sexes. Key research activities include...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of using non-invasive neuroimaging techniques to monitor the metabolic and vascular functions of the brain and heart in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The $332,096 award, with a performance period from July 2024 to June 2026, will be made to The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital). The research...
This federal Project Grant award of $2,496,057.49 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to investigate the role of hepatic glucagon receptor signaling in healthspan and aging. The research project at the University of Arizona will use genetic and pharmacological approaches to manipulate glucagon receptor signaling and study its impact on normal aging, obesity-accelerated aging, and calorie restriction-induced longevity extension. The project builds on prior...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $161,922 project grant under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) program to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to support research on "Mechanism of Mitochondria-Induced Myokine Activation and Implications for Healthy Aging." The project aims to investigate how mitochondrial protein import stress can induce myokine signaling, and how this process may mediate fat loss and cardiac health improvements during...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $1,919,387 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on homeostatic modeling of functional neuroimaging data in humans. The research aims to develop a novel methodology, called HOMOD, to obtain brain maps of tissue PCO2, PO2, and pH in aging. This methodology will be used to investigate the impact of reduced resting cerebral blood flow and...
