This $576,893 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to investigate the role of post-translational modifications of the myosin protein and its chaperone UNC-45 that occur with adult aging. The goal is to understand how these age-related chemical changes contribute to the loss of muscle mass, strength, and function known as sarcopenia. Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Arkansas provides $141,890 to examine the role of the MYC gene in regulating skeletal muscle function, metabolism, and cellular/molecular characteristics throughout the lifespan. The project aims to determine if MYC induction can mimic the beneficial effects of exercise on skeletal muscle aging and facilitate epigenetic and transcriptional "age reversal" in muscle cell...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $381,507 to The University of Iowa to conduct research on the role of the protein kinase ULK2 in the selective degradation of protein aggregates and its impact on preserving skeletal muscle quality during aging. The research aims to establish ULK2's role in the development and treatment of age-related muscle atrophy and weakness (sarcopenia), as well as define the critical mechanisms...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $270,114.00 to the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) to investigate the role of the transcription factor TFEB as a critical regulator of proteostasis and skeletal muscle function in aging. The primary objectives are to: 1) Determine if increasing TFEB activity can improve maintenance of muscle mass and function in aged mice, 2) Evaluate how mTOR activity regulates TFEB-dependent...
This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports the development and testing of a 3D engineered muscle tissue model to examine the metabolic response to muscle contraction in the context of aging. The award aims to: 1) Investigate the mitochondrial mechanisms underlying the decreased metabolic response to muscle contraction in aged human 3D engineered muscle tissue, and 2) Characterize the effect of aging on adaptation to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) provides $485,375 to the University of Washington to conduct research on alternative splicing and transposable element expression in aging skeletal muscle. The project aims to discover genomic alterations associated with muscle aging, with the long-term goal of understanding mechanisms to prevent or slow age-related decline in muscle function. Key research activities include...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $104,164 Project Grant under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The grant, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, will fund research to investigate the role of the nuclear protein Lamin A/C in maintaining the integrity of subsynaptic myonuclei and its impact on reinnervation following denervation events in skeletal muscle. The project aims to elucidate key regulators of reinnervation in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Washington provides $485,375 to investigate the mechanisms underlying reduced resilience and adaptability of aging skeletal muscle. The project aims to determine whether increased mitochondrial redox stress drives the impairment of redox stress response signaling and declining muscle function with age. The researchers will use skeletal muscle contraction as a model to examine the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $673,650 to the Mayo Clinic to conduct research on the mechanisms of anabolic resistance in older adults. The primary objectives are to evaluate how inflamed adipose tissue may contribute to blunted exercise response in skeletal muscle, and to identify the molecular pathways by which abdominal and intermuscular adipose tissue influence muscle phenotype and exercise response in older...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $159,512 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Florida to investigate the mechanisms underlying age-related decline in physical function. The research aims to determine if elevated levels of the metabolite L-kynurenine and increased activity of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) play a causal role in the deterioration of muscle and physical performance during aging. Using novel mouse models, the project will evaluate if...
