- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of California, Berkeley $598,837 on August 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate how hematopoietic stem cell aging affects distant tissues and organismal aging. The research will characterize a mouse model that reverses hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) aging by measuring changes in healthspan and lifespan and deciphering the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying those alterations. The work tests the...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Yale University $544,318 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on June 1, 2026, to conduct research on immunometabolic regulation of inflammaging by nerve-associated macrophages (NAMs). The project investigates how nerve-associated macrophages—a subset of macrophages residing on sympathetic nerve fibers—regulate the sympathetic nervous system and innate immune response to control chronic inflammation associated with aging. The research addresses...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $705,405 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate how changes in nuclear physical properties during cellular senescence drive transcriptional and splicing dysregulation characteristic of aging. The funded research measures nuclear biophysical properties across multiple length scales using a toolkit including genetically encoded multimeric nanoparticles (nucGEMS, 40–50 nanometers), newly...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $533,500 to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging on July 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The award funds examination of the role of autonomic innervation in muscle stem cell aging.
