- 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...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded the University of Pennsylvania a Project Grant of $333,116 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. This award supports biomedical research directed toward understanding aging processes and age-related diseases. The research project investigates the relationship between telomere dysfunction, aging, and intestinal stem cell (ISC) niche function, with the goal of...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Pennsylvania $2,809,832 on February 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate epigenetic mechanisms driving cellular aging and age-associated disease. The award funds four integrated research projects examining chromatin homeostasis ("chromostasis") and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in aging tissues. The research hypothesizes that age-related epigenetic changes result from...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded $671,107 to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on July 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate P53 acetylation as a driver of alveolar progenitor cell senescence in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The recipient is conducting research into the mechanisms by which aberrant P53 activation, stabilized through acetylation and enhanced by increased CBP/P300 acetyltransferase activity and reduced SIRT1 expression, initiates and perpetuates...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Baylor College of Medicine $651,838 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, to define the regulatory mechanisms of periosteal skeletal stem cells (P-SSCs) in bone maintenance and repair with aging. The research addresses the clinical problem that bone healing capacity declines with age, creating significant healthcare burden from delayed healing and non-union in aged bone defects. The project will characterize the in vivo niche...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded $648,930 to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, on August 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop human stem cell-based microphysiological systems for aging research. The recipient will create a novel human aging-on-a-chip platform integrating fat and liver tissues derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and microfluidics using serum from young...
