This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), provides $647,460 to Cornell University to conduct research on the mechanisms by which mechanical stimuli induce rapid gene expression changes in skeletal muscle cells. The goal is to identify the nuclear-based mechanotransduction processes that enable these ultrarapid responses, and to understand how disease-causing mutations in nuclear envelope proteins impact this cellular mechanosensing. The 5-year project, commencing on Sep 1, 2024, will explore the fundamental mechanisms of how cells sense and adapt to their physical environment, which is critical for developing new therapeutic approaches for diseases like muscular dystrophy caused by impaired cellular mechanotransduction.
