This Project Grant award of $1,905,716.00 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research conducted by New York University School of Medicine to study the aging skeletal stem cell niche. The research aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms regulating the inflammatory response in skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs) and the role of anti-inflammatory factors in resolving inflammation. By investigating how these pro- and anti-inflammatory...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $2,541,656 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Mayo Clinic to characterize senescent cell populations in skeletal aging. The grant aims to leverage novel mouse models and single-cell analysis techniques to better define the mechanisms driving cellular senescence in the bone microenvironment and identify key senescent cell populations that contribute to skeletal aging. As part of the grant, the University of Connecticut Health Center...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $299,428 Project Grant to WNT Scientific LLC to develop an innovative medical device to treat nonunion fractures in older adults. The device is a biodegradable, controlled-release material designed to promote fracture healing by stimulating angiogenesis (blood vessel formation), which is impaired in elderly patients due to chronic inflammation. The awarded project aims to commercialize this...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $110,992.00 to the University of California, Davis to investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) signaling in age-induced bone loss and osteoporosis. The research aims to establish the relationship between HIF-2α and senescent gene signatures in osteocytes during skeletal aging, demonstrate that osteocyte HIF-2α stabilization drives a senescent gene signature, and...
Duke University has been awarded a $4,537,430 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, to support research under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The grant will fund a study from September 2022 to August 2025 to examine the role of cellular senescence on postoperative neuroinflammation. Specifically, the researchers will use a mouse model of orthopedic fracture to determine how senescent cell burden exacerbates systemic...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $719,873 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as the Health Sciences Division. The funding supports research to investigate how epigenetic deregulation of osteoblasts in the bone marrow stroma promotes age-related clonality and transformation of hematopoietic cells harboring IDH1/2 mutations, which can...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $649,679 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on mechanisms of aging. The project aims to evaluate how a population of mouse T cells can be iteratively boosted and passaged among young mice for over 11 years, exceeding the normal mouse lifespan, while retaining functional competence and proliferative potential. The research will investigate factors such as...
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 award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $572,203 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on mechanisms for preserving muscle function during aging. The research aims to define cellular responses and molecular pathways critical for motor unit expansion, a compensatory mechanism that helps maintain muscle under conditions of denervation. Specifically, the project will examine how aging and denervation...
This Project Grant award of $506,404 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports research into the mechanisms of epigenetic regulation and chromatin homeostasis that underlie cellular senescence and organismal aging. The key research objectives are: (1) investigating how enhancer rewiring and the formation of super-enhancer "cliques" drive gene expression changes during senescence; (2) elucidating the role of cryptic transcriptional initiation within...
