This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), provides $456,808 to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging to develop innovative mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) technologies and perform deep proteomic profiling of bone tissues. The goal is to spatially visualize changes in the extracellular matrix and glycans related to osteoarthritis, age-related bone changes, and meniscal injury. This will involve employing MSI to monitor hundreds of molecular targets in human and mouse tissue samples, and conducting in-depth proteomic analysis of over 2,000 protein groups in bone. The research team, which includes experts from the Buck Institute, UC San Francisco, and the Medical University of South Carolina, aims to provide new tools for investigating disease mechanisms and monitoring the efficacy of interventions for musculoskeletal conditions. The project was awarded in September 2024 and is scheduled for completion by August 2026.
