This $428,397 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a multi-year research study on the anatomical and functional characteristics of the thymus in the elderly human population. The research team at the University of Pikeville will conduct qualitative and quantitative assessments of thymic structure and function in cadaver samples, using techniques such as immunohistochemistry and molecular biology to determine the degree of thymic...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $351,750 to Yale University to investigate the role of the protein NLRX1 in age-related changes to the immune system, particularly T cell function. The 5-year project aims to elucidate how decreases in NLRX1 may contribute to the expansion of memory T cells, decreased naive T cell survival, and other age-associated T cell alterations. The research will explore the mechanisms by which NLRX1...
This $451,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund research by The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to investigate the role of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway in regulating lysosome function and tissue integrity during development and aging. The key goals of this 2-year project are to: 1) define the p38 MAPK interactome required for lysosome regeneration, 2) reveal tissue and stage-specific functions of p38 MAPK...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular rejuvenation process induced by partial reprogramming using the OSKM transcription factors. The $422,419 award will support research to 1) map the transcriptomic, chromatin, and epigenetic changes during OSKM-mediated partial reprogramming, and 2) identify the gene regulatory networks and key regulators...
This $393,750.00 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) will fund a 5-year research project to explore the fundamental cellular mechanisms driving cellular senescence in macrophages. The key objectives of this research project are to gain a deeper understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying senescent macrophage biology. This includes investigating the roles...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $3,128,604.00 to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to investigate the relationships between immunosenescence, brain aging biomarkers, and cognition across non-human primate species with differing lifespans. The project aims to elucidate the role of the immune system in longevity, neurodegeneration, and cognitive decline, which may inform the development of immuno-restorative...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $408,600.00 to Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University School of Medicine, to conduct research on the role of cytosolic DNA sensing in regulating tissue-resident macrophage function and organismal longevity. The key objectives of this research project are to: 1) Ascertain the role of endogenous retroelements in shaping tissue-resident macrophage survival and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to investigate how aging produces ultrastructural alterations to neuronal autophagy, which is critical for maintaining neuronal homeostasis and function. The $429,000 award to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston will be used to accomplish two specific aims over the 2-year project period starting January 1, 2025: Compare the ultrastructural features of axonal autophagic...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA, CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $147,486 to Albert Einstein College of Medicine to study the role of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) in cellular senescence and aging. The research aims to understand: 1) how CMA activity changes upon induction of senescence, 2) if CMA modulates the kinetics of senescence and by what mechanisms, 3) if CMA is required for clearance of senescent cells by the immune system, and 4) if...
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...
