Project Grant R01AG092368
- This $146,922 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports research to investigate physiological pathways that modulate the regulation of the tau protein, which is associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The research is being conducted by the Johns Hopkins University and aims to better understand how disruptions in the signaling pathway involving the enzyme GDE2 lead to...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $1,083,046 Project Grant under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant, running from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, will support the development of novel adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) to selectively manipulate oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in the central nervous system. The project aims to test the hypothesis that reactive...
- This Project Grant award of $437,875 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund a 2-year research project at the University of California, San Diego to quantify neurovascular protein lifetimes in the central nervous system under healthy, aging, and Alzheimer's disease conditions. The key objectives are to generate a comprehensive atlas of neurovascular protein lifetimes and identify changes associated with aging and Alzheimer's disease. The project will...
- This federal Project Grant award of $127,224 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports research to elucidate the mechanistic role of S-nitrosylated phospholipase D3 (SNO-PLD3) in the microglial and neuronal pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The principal investigator at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) will conduct studies to investigate how the posttranslational modification of SNO-PLD3 contributes to AD pathology, including amyloid-beta...
- This federal Project Grant award for $528,876, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), supports research to investigate the cis- and trans-genetic regulation of brain transcriptomics and proteomics associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). The key goals of the project are to: Estimate genome-wide cis- and trans-acting quantitative trait loci (QTLs) effects for transcriptome-wide genes and proteome-wide proteins across 4 brain...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $1,552,000.00 and provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), supports a research study examining the relationship between markers of vascular and immune dysfunction, such as platelet aggregation and neutrophil levels, and their association with dementia risk and increased Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers. The study, conducted by New York University School of Medicine, aims to integrate biofluid biomarker data with...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $2,001,864 to Harvard University to investigate the subcellular mechanisms underlying the selective vulnerability of specific neuron subtypes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The researchers will quantitatively study the localization of RNA, proteins, and translational regulation in the synapses and soma of vulnerable corticospinal neurons (CSN) and...
- This $3,360,074 federal Project Grant was awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research grant program (CFDA 93.866). The grant is funding research led by the University of Pennsylvania to develop short RNA therapeutics that can combat TDP-43 proteinopathy, a key pathological feature of several devastating neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia. The research aims to...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,631,670 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports a research initiative at The Washington University to investigate age-related deficits in episodic memory. The project aims to determine how aging distinctly affects the content and structure of memory representations, and how this relates to dysfunction in different brain networks based on susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The research will utilize plasma...
- This Project Grant award of $426,313, provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853), supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the signaling pathways that disrupt neurofilament (NF) phosphorylation dynamics and lead to NF hyperphosphorylation, a pathology associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral...
This federal Project Grant award of $480,710 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The Johns Hopkins University is focused on investigating a novel vascular pathway that regulates neuronal survival. The project aims to understand how a specific enzyme, glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase 2 (GDE2), functions in vascular endothelial cells to release a protein required for neuronal survival, and how disruptions in this pathway may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and frontotemporal dementia. The research involves genetic, cell culture, and animal model studies to elucidate the role of GDE2 and its substrate glypican 6 in vascular function and neuronal survival. The award has an initial duration of 5 years, with a completion date of May 31, 2030.
