This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Emory University provides $387,006 in funding to investigate how indoles derived from commensal gut bacteria can promote mobility and muscle function in aging. The research aims to determine the mechanisms by which indoles limit age-related loss of muscle proteins and improve mitochondrial function to maintain mobility. The study will leverage the nematode C. elegans model as well as aged mice...
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...
The federal Project Grant award, identified as R56AG086504, was provided by the National Institute on Aging under CFDA Program 93.866 (Aging Research). The $647,979 award supports research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School to investigate how gut microbiota influence neuronal function and protect against neurodegeneration, with a focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the relationship between the microbiome and Alzheimer's disease. Specifically, the project...
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, under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), will fund a 5-year, $3,127,512 study titled "MAEVE: MICROBIOTA MEDIATED FLAVONOID METABOLITES FOR COGNITIVE HEALTH". The study will be conducted by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and aims to investigate the protective effects of polyphenol-rich dietary supplements on brain health and cognitive function in older adults at high risk of...
This three-year project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging will fund research at the University of Memphis to investigate mitochondrial determinants of monocyte dysfunction during aging. With total funding of $828,272, the award began in September 2022 and will continue through August 2025. The researchers will study the link between impaired mitochondrial Complex I function and reduced inflammatory responses in monocytes from older adults. They will...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $558,222 to the University of Maryland, Baltimore to investigate the roles of the circRNA CircHIPK3 and the RNA-binding protein HuR in regulating mitochondrial function and intestinal barrier integrity in the aging gut. The 5-year award, effective September 1, 2024, will fund research to test hypotheses that CircHIPK3 and HuR play key roles in the altered gut barrier function observed in...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports scientific research into the links between lipid metabolism, mitochondrial stress, and cellular senescence in adipose tissue. The $153,512 grant, awarded on November 16, 2024, will fund a two-year research project conducted by the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The key aims of the project are: 1) using proteomics to define mitochondrial protein targets of carbonylation during...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $2,451,933 Project Grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. for the project "The Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis and Personalized Mediterranean Diet Interventions for Alzheimer's Dementia Prevention". The project aims to investigate how the gut microbiome and Mediterranean diet interventions impact cognitive health and Alzheimer's disease risk. Key research activities include:...
This federal Project Grant award of $659,916 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to determine if restricting dietary levels of specific amino acids, including isoleucine, valine, and histidine, can reverse diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in mice and non-human primates. The objective is to understand if manipulation of these dietary amino acids represents a translatable intervention to promote metabolic health and increase...
