Northwestern University's Sponsored Research Division received a $559,795 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) effective May 1, 2026 through January 31, 2031. The award supports research investigating cell mechanics-mediated regulation of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) during homeostasis and aging. The project will examine microRNA-205 (mir-205) regulation of extracellular matrix and actin cytoskeleton to understand HFSC quiescence and activation, with the goal of leveraging mir-205 to enhance HFSC function and promote hair regeneration in both young and aged mice. Research will utilize a high-resolution intravital imaging system to record calcium influx in HFSCs and identify downstream transcription factors that maintain cellular states of quiescent stem cells. The project delivers biomedical research findings directed toward understanding aging-related processes and age-related disorders, consistent with the National Institute on Aging's mission to support research identifying ways to prevent and treat age-related conditions. Research outputs will advance scientific knowledge regarding stem cell mechanics, mechanotransduction mechanisms, and potential therapeutic targets for age-related hair loss and regeneration. The work is conducted at Northwestern University's Chicago, Illinois facility under the university's research infrastructure and capabilities.Federal Grant Award Summary
