- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $435,875 to Vanderbilt University on May 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to define characteristics of a resilient organelle interactome during aging. The research applies advanced 3D electron microscopy and artificial intelligence-based image analysis to map organelle interactions in Caenorhabditis elegans model organisms across the aging process. The work compares age-dependent...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $708,137 on February 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop and validate technologies for probing the biophysical properties of aging cells. The funded work centers on developing genetically encoded multimeric particles (GEMs) as high-throughput microrheology probes to measure the physical properties of cell interiors—particularly within organelles including the nucleus, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum,...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Albert Einstein College of Medicine $462,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate chaperone-mediated autophagy in aging-associated cardiovascular fibrosis. The research examines the role of declining chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) activity in fibroblasts as a driver of progressive fibrotic remodeling in aging hearts and vessels. The study will test whether age-related CMA decline in cardiac fibroblasts...
- 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. The research investigates the functional link between autonomic nervous system neurons and muscle stem cells using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. The project will refine...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $362,342 on March 17, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct research on lysosome homeostasis in aging-related diseases. The research investigates how lysosomes maintain cellular health through homeostatic mechanisms that sense lysosomal stress and either repair damaged lysosomes or generate new ones via transcriptional activation. The study focuses on a mechanism called conjugation of...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $218,728 on March 3, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate vulnerable cell populations in aging-induced circadian clock remodeling and disruption. The recipient will conduct high-throughput single-nucleus RNA sequencing of flash-frozen tissues from young and aged mice sampled every four hours over two days in constant darkness. In the first aim, the investigator will profile seven...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Drexel University $420,554 under Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, to establish an integrated system for studying senescence and aging in the central nervous system. The award funds two research aims: characterization of the molecular and functional consequences of senescence in astrocyte and neuronal cultures, and evaluation of senescence impact in a multicellular context using hiPSC-derived vascularized cortical organoids. Single-cell...
- The National Institute on Aging, under the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $467,181 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The award funds research investigating how a life history of physical trauma contributes to aging and markers of aging, including inflammatory response and epigenetic markers, using African killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) as a model organism. The research will...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $450,200 on May 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to map age-dependent changes in primary sensory neurons and nociceptors. The recipient will deliver a systematic, cell-type-resolved map of how normal aging remodels peripheral sensory neurons housed in the dorsal-root ganglion (DRG). The project employs subtype-specific labeling via a recently published molecular-genetic...
