This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) aims to develop treatments to remove deleterious mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations that contribute to aging and age-related diseases. The $146,922 award supports research at the University of Southern California to use genetic and molecular biology tools, along with sequencing techniques, to purge mammalian cells of mtDNA molecules carrying harmful mutations. The project will leverage a cell line...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to improve understanding of the role of genetic variation in mitochondrial-nuclear dynamics and their impact on organismal health. The $399,766 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026, will leverage specific populations of threespine stickleback fish to study how the nuclear genome evolves and adapts to maintain mitochondrial genome variation. The project will fill...
This $2,010,291 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant aims to leverage whole-genome sequencing, metabolomics, and proteomics data to identify novel biomarkers and causal relationships between mitochondrial function and aging-related diseases, including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and frailty. The research will first identify plasma metabolites...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $173,788 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct a 5-year research program focused on understanding mitochondrial genome mutations that contribute to human tissue aging, with a specific focus on skin tissue. The key objectives of the research are to: 1) map and determine the tissue specificity of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in aged skin, 2) quantify mtDNA...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $388,067 to support an interdisciplinary investigation of functional asymmetry and topological restructuring within mitochondrial networks during cellular aging. The primary awardee is Northwestern University, which will partner with the University of California, San Diego on the project. The research aims to mechanistically investigate how mitochondrial positioning and dynamics contribute to...
This $472,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research to investigate the potential of hypoxia therapy to treat mitochondrial diseases caused by mutations in the mitochondrial proteostasis system. The research aims to expand on the team's previous findings that chronic hypoxia can prevent and reverse neurological damage in a mouse model of mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Specifically, the project will: Test the ability of...
This $126,042 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research into the cell autonomous and cell non-autonomous roles of mitochondrial proline catabolism for muscle-mitochondrial health and overall organismal longevity. The University of Southern California is the primary awardee and will employ innovative techniques, including CRISPR/Cas9 genetic editing, single-cell RNA sequencing, and mitochondrial assessments, to comprehensively...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $935,708 Project Grant under CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research) to Georgia Tech Research Corporation to investigate the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of mitochondria in aging using advanced in vivo chemical imaging techniques. The research aims to unravel the relationship between mitochondrial dynamics, physiological homeostasis, and age-related conditions within living animal models. As part of this project, the University of Florida received a...
This Project Grant award for $466,125, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), supports research to analyze the effects of Alzheimer's disease on subcellular transcriptome dynamics and mitonuclear coordination in neuronal soma and projections. The research, conducted by Harvard Medical School, will use a novel technique called Subcellular Timelapse-Seq (STL-Seq) to simultaneously quantify the kinetic rates of transcription, nuclear export, ribosome...
The Scintillon Institute, a non-profit biomedical research organization, received a $529,650 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to investigate NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)-mediated bypass of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The research aims to identify endogenous metabolites interconverted by NQO1 and characterize the bioenergetics of this alternative electron transfer mechanism, with the goal of developing therapeutic...
