- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $708,137 on February 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop and validate technologies for probing the biophysical properties of aging cells. The funded work centers on developing genetically encoded multimeric particles (GEMs) as high-throughput microrheology probes to measure the physical properties of cell interiors—particularly within organelles including the nucleus, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum,...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $466,125 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on January 15, 2026, to develop innovative magnetic resonance imaging analysis tools for identifying microstructural biomarkers of skeletal muscle health across the lifespan. The project, titled "(Micro)structural Biomarkers of Skeletal Muscle Health Across the Lifespan," addresses sarcopenia—a leading cause of disability and mortality in aging populations—by creating...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $533,500 to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging on July 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The award funds examination of the role of autonomic innervation in muscle stem cell aging. The research investigates the functional link between autonomic nervous system neurons and muscle stem cells using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. The project will refine...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $690,898 on September 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct functional genetic analyses of healthspan in humans. The recipient will identify shared genetic architecture underlying age-related diseases and aging-related traits, experimentally validate the regulatory roles of healthspan-associated non-coding variants and their target genes, and elucidate molecular...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Albany Medical College $246,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate inter-organelle dynamics during aging in eukaryotic cells. The work will characterize spatial contexts of inter-organelle communication using C. elegans as a model system to identify organellar signatures that develop during aging and proteostasis decline, establishing a platform to understand how aging impacts organelle interactions and...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Pennsylvania $2,809,832 on February 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate epigenetic mechanisms driving cellular aging and age-associated disease. The award funds four integrated research projects examining chromatin homeostasis ("chromostasis") and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in aging tissues. The research hypothesizes that age-related epigenetic changes result from...
