This federal Project Grant award of $605,486 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research at Yale University to define mechanisms that coordinate late endosome and lysosome functions across the extreme size and polarity of neurons. The goal is to better understand how variants in genes encoding lysosome proteins contribute to multiple neurodegenerative diseases, particularly the relevance of abnormal lysosome accumulations within neurons that...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $656,709 to Yale University to define the molecular and ultrastructural mechanisms that underpin the process of nucleophagy - the lysosome-mediated degradation of nuclear components. The 5-year research project, beginning December 1, 2024, aims to leverage the yeast model system to characterize the timeline and molecular machineries involved in clearing dysfunctional nuclear proteins,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $628,000.00 to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to investigate how Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis disrupts synaptic autophagy, and whether optimizing synaptic autophagy can be neuroprotective in an AD mouse model. The project aims to utilize primary hippocampal cell cultures and genetic techniques in mouse models to understand the disruption of autophagic processing of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $871,093 to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research to conduct research into the mechanisms and therapeutic potential of the autophagy-lysosome pathway in Alzheimer's disease. The key objectives are to elucidate novel regulatory mechanisms of the transcription factor EB (TFEB) and the autophagy-lysosomal pathway, and to investigate their therapeutic implications for Alzheimer's disease...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $131,027.00, was provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The Leland Stanford Junior University. The award aims to study neuronal proteostasis, the maintenance of protein health, during brain aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Conducting in vivo experiments using a novel bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT)...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $461,146 to Yale University to study the disruption of astrocytes, a key cell type in the brain, and its relationship to the early cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. The project aims to use novel imaging techniques to longitudinally track changes in astrocytic signaling and its coupling with noradrenergic signaling across different genetic models of Alzheimer's disease. The results are...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Aging under CFDA program 93.866 - Aging Research, supports a research study focused on understanding the mechanisms responsible for autophagy defects in neurons affected by Alzheimer's disease (AD). The $749,030 award, with a performance period from December 15, 2024 to November 30, 2029, will be used by the principal investigator at The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to evaluate the effects of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides funding of $460,625 to Yale University to elucidate the role of the protein TBK1 in regulating lysosome function and its implications for neurodegenerative diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. The research aims to define the molecular mechanisms by which TBK1 coordinates lysosome function with cellular demand, using genome-edited cell lines, human induced...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $412,751 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to study the changes in protein turnover and proteome integrity that occur during physiological brain aging. The key objectives are to: (I) study the stoichiometry of the ribosome and proteasome; (II) measure changes in protein complex composition; (III) reveal which protein interaction states have altered turnover...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $429,000 to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston to investigate ultrastructural alterations to neuronal autophagy during aging. The research aims to elucidate how aging induces changes to the structure and spatial relationships of autophagic vesicles in neurons, as well as determine how the autophagy component WIPI2 can rejuvenate the axonal compartment and restore...
