This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a comprehensive study on the role of mitochondrial function in aging-related diseases. The $2,010,291 award to The Johns Hopkins University will leverage genetic data, metabolomics, and proteomics from over 680,000 participants to identify novel biomarkers and causal relationships between mitochondrial dysfunction and conditions like all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and frailty. By...
This Project Grant award of $705,775 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a comprehensive study of mitochondrial diversity in the aging brain and immune system. The primary objectives are to: Generate high-resolution mitochondrial gene expression profiles ("mitotypes") for over 1.4 million brain cells and 0.9 million immune cells from older adults to identify mitochondrial recalibrations associated with age, sex, cognitive reserve, and...
This $351,750 project grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to Yale University. The project aims to elucidate the role of the NLRX1 protein in altering T cell immunity during the aging process. Specifically, the research will investigate the mechanism by which decreased NLRX1 expression augments age-associated changes in T cells, including expansion of memory T cells, decreased naive T cell survival, and...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $935,708 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation to investigate the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of mitochondria during aging using advanced in vivo chemical imaging techniques. The research project aims to unravel the relationship between mitochondrial dynamics, physiological homeostasis, and the cellular environment in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans under different age and disease...
This National Institute on Aging (NIA) Project Grant award to Emory University, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $430,375 to determine whether the microbiome metabolite valerobetaine (VB) promotes a mitochondrial aging phenotype in old mice and to test whether VB antagonizes the beneficial effects of carnitine (acetylcarnitine) on mitochondrial aging. The two-year project, running from September 2023 to September 2025, will conduct experimental studies in young and old...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's (NIA) Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $660,402 to the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) to study the role of autophagy, a cellular process that recycles damaged components, in regulating lipid metabolism and inflammation in microglia during brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD). The research aims to determine how microglial lipid phagocytosis inhibits autophagy, leading to the...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $399,766 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to conduct research on understanding the dynamics between mitochondrial and nuclear genetic variation and their impact on mitochondrial dysfunction and associated diseases. The project will leverage threespine stickleback fish populations that exhibit high mitochondrial genomic diversity to study how nuclear genomes adapt to maintain...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $649,679 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on mechanisms of cellular aging and longevity. The project aims to study a population of mouse T cells that can be iteratively boosted and passaged among young mice for over 11 years, retaining functionality without uncontrolled proliferation. The specific objectives are to reevaluate the Hayflick limit, assess mutational...
This Project Grant award of $859,240.00, provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), supports research investigating the relationships between immunesenescence, brain aging biomarkers, and cognition across nonhuman primate species with differing lifespans. The primary awardee, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, will conduct studies to better understand the role the immune system plays in longevity, neurodegeneration,...
This is a Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The $107,948 award supports research to investigate the mechanism by which mitochondrial protein import stress can induce the release of beneficial myokines, which are signaling molecules produced by muscle cells. The 5-year project aims to uncover how this mitochondrial stress pathway activates myokine expression and determine if the induced myokines can promote...
