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...
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 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 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...
