- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Jackson Laboratory $506,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop an age-stratified human gut-on-chip model that integrates organoid-derived young and old colon epithelia with patient-derived microbiomes within a dynamically perfused, oxygen-controlled microphysiological environment. The recipient will establish the first such platform capable of sustaining obligate anaerobes and examining how aging-related...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Duke University $664,591 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, to identify bioactive metabolites produced by beneficial gut bacteria and determine their mechanisms of action on host aging. The research applies a high-throughput, mass spectrometry-based pipeline to construct strain-specific metabolic profiles of human anaerobic gut bacteria, with particular focus on bifidobacteria. The project aims to identify...
- The National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging awarded $681,020 to Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation on June 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate microbial regulation of type 2 immunity in ovarian tissue remodeling and fibrosis. The research challenges the paradigm that reproductive decline results from inevitable follicle depletion, instead identifying ovarian tissue fibrosis as an environmentally modifiable process driven by...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Baylor College of Medicine $430,212 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, for an exploratory R21 project to establish Procotyla fluviatilis, a North American planarian species, as a comparative model for aging research. The funded work will define how stem cell function and tissue structure change across the flatworm's seasonal life cycle, map age-associated cellular and transcriptional changes using single-cell sequencing,...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded the University of Missouri System $676,608 on February 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate the role of the gut-brain axis in Alzheimer's disease mitigation through a translational study combining human and preclinical animal experiments. The project examines how dysbiosis—microbial imbalance—correlates with Alzheimer's disease biomarkers (amyloid plaques, tau...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $442,750 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866) to Duke University to conduct research on using heterochronic (age-mismatched) hepatocyte transplantation to rejuvenate the aged liver. The research aims to understand how transplanting young hepatocytes into old livers, and vice versa, can influence liver function, cellular composition, and the plasma proteome. Key objectives include measuring changes in liver function markers, analyzing the liver's cellular...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $131,842 on February 22, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866, Assistance Listing Project Grant F31AG094300). The recipient will use the funding to identify global rejuvenation mechanisms in tissues that reverse age-related phenotypes in planarians. The research involves developing and optimizing EX-SCOPE, a high-resolution spatial transcriptomic technology that integrates expansion microscopy and...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston $429,000 on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate endothelial senescence intervention in limb muscle ischemia using exercise mimetics. The research will measure the effect of exercise mimesis on preventing or reversing muscle decline associated with peripheral arterial disease in aging populations. The project employs unique transgenic mouse lines, including...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as University of Colorado-Denver) $156,000 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on April 1, 2026, for a project grant (R03AG094334) investigating the impact of gut bacteria on physical function in older adults with and without HIV. The research examines associations between the gut microbiome and physical function and frailty, comparing older people with and without HIV infection. The...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Baylor College of Medicine $440,000 on May 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct single-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis of budding yeast aging. The project, titled "Beyond Genetics: Unveiling Epigenetic Drivers of Lifespan Heterogeneity Through Yeast Single-Cell Aging Atlases," investigates the molecular basis for lifespan variation in genetically identical organisms raised in controlled conditions. The...
