- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $448,961 to Telohealthdx LLC to develop a low-cost, accurate, and high-throughput DNA array and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)-based method to measure the absolute lengths of individual telomeres. The goal is to create an improved diagnostic test for telomere-associated diseases, which are prevalent among the aging population and include conditions like dyskeratosis congenita, aplastic...
- This $430,101 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) will fund research to identify new genes and genetic variants responsible for telomere shortening, telomere disease risk, and premature aging. The project aims to determine the genetic basis of telomere shortening across diverse tissues, explore the phenome-wide consequences of telomere length using large-scale biobank data, and identify...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $430,956 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Duke University. The grant aims to (1) identify novel clinical and 'omic risk factors, including telomere length, mitochondrial copy number, and clonal hematopoiesis, for organ dysfunction and early mortality in sickle cell disease (SCD), and (2) identify proteomic and glycoproteomic biomarkers for premature mortality in SCD. The research seeks to elucidate the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research provides $133,353 to Mayo Clinic to investigate the molecular mechanisms of T cell-mediated surveillance of senescent cells under both physiological and aging conditions. The research aims to define how senescent cells deploy their secretome to sensitize human T cells, assess co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory interactions between senescent cells and T cells, and perform translational studies...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $320,511 project grant to TRU Diagnostics Inc. to develop a novel diagnostic tool for chronic diseases. The project aims to create a "non-stochastic W function epigenomic roadmap" using systems-based dynamic modeling to capture the shifting homeostatic set points of epigenetic markers over time. This transformative approach aims to enable personalized, dynamic health forecasts...
- This $333,116 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to understand the impact of telomere dysfunction and natural aging on the intestinal stem cell niche. The goal is to examine how aging and acute telomere failure suppress stromal niche support for intestinal stem cells, contributing to intestinal phenotypes associated with aging and telomeropathies like dyskeratosis congenita. The research will utilize a novel mouse...
- This federal Project Grant award of $150,000.00 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research (CFDA 93.847) program. The grant supports research by Mayo Clinic to study the clinical significance of somatic mosaic states in the context of short telomeres, which are associated with Telomere Biology Disorders (TBD). Specifically, the research aims to create and characterize a new...
