- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $803,111 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to model and contrast the progression of neuroinflammation, abnormal iron accumulation, and neurodegeneration in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) with tau (FTLD-tau) versus TDP-43 (FTLD-TDP) pathology. The award supports a multidisciplinary approach to comprehensively study glial activation and iron dysregulation in human brain...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will support a $185,074 research study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley. The goal of the study is to examine how brain network connectivity is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, longitudinal pathology accumulation, and aging. The researchers will use positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) to investigate the mechanisms of how...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) for $791,086 aims to develop computational models that can predict the presence of non-Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes, such as Lewy body disease, TDP-43 proteinopathy, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy, in individuals with Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes. The project will leverage data from autopsy-confirmed datasets, in vivo neuroimaging, and clinical assessments to build...
- This $3,360,074 federal Project Grant was awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research grant program (CFDA 93.866). The grant is funding research led by the University of Pennsylvania to develop short RNA therapeutics that can combat TDP-43 proteinopathy, a key pathological feature of several devastating neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia. The research aims to...
- This Project Grant award of $717,709 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to discover cellular mechanisms underlying the propagation of misfolded tau protein aggregates in human neurons, which are key drivers of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The research combines advanced proteomic techniques, deep learning analyses, and transcriptomic profiling using newly generated human induced pluripotent stem...
