- This $846,358 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to build a research platform to assess the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in vivo. The goal is to elucidate the molecular identity of the SASP secretome and develop biomarkers to distinguish senescence and SASP signatures across different tissues. To accomplish this, the award will leverage a novel SASP-ER platform that permits conditional tagging of secreted proteins in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to gain a mechanistic understanding of the role of cellular senescence in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The $460,625 grant will fund research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School to dissect the separate P53/P21 and P16 senescence pathways and their functional consequences in AD using human induced pluripotent stem cell-based models. The 2-year project will produce...
- This $147,486 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports research to investigate the role of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) in cellular senescence and its contribution to aging. The research aims to understand: 1) if CMA activity changes upon induction of senescence, 2) if CMA modulates senescence kinetics and by what mechanism(s), 3) if CMA is required for senescent cell clearance, and 4) if restoring CMA activity...
- This federal Project Grant award of $291,913 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Virscio, Inc., a for-profit research company located in Connecticut. The award is focused on developing epigenetic and senescent biomarkers using non-human primate tissues to advance the understanding of biological aging processes and potential anti-aging strategies. The project aims to create minimally invasive biomarker tools, such as blood and skin-based assays,...
- This $1,081,439 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to uncover the biochemical mechanisms behind cellular aging. The project, titled "TRACING THE COORDINATED CONTROL OF NAD+ HOMEOSTASIS", aims to create a comprehensive database and metabolic map of NAD+ biology throughout the lifespan. This research will investigate how NAD+ metabolism is maintained, regulated, and disrupted as cells age, with...
- This $1,039,863 National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging project grant funds research at Harvard Medical School to reverse engineer the process of cellular senescence. The research will use new microscopy techniques to observe cell size changes and correlate protein expression and phosphorylation with senescence markers as cells transition from normal to senescent states in vitro and in vivo in young and aged mice. The same induction-maturation-death lifecycle will be studied...
- This $393,750.00 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) will fund a 5-year research project to explore the fundamental cellular mechanisms driving cellular senescence in macrophages. The key objectives of this research project are to gain a deeper understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying senescent macrophage biology. This includes investigating the roles...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $159,492 to Weill Medical College of Cornell University to support research focused on identifying and characterizing clonal expansions in aging and aging-related diseases.
