- This Project Grant award of $522,714 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), aims to investigate the role of stretch activation in mammalian skeletal muscle endurance. The research will focus on measuring the characteristics and mechanisms of stretch activation in mouse slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers, including determining the specific myosin...
- This federal 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), is funding research on the role of HOX-expressing interstitial cells in muscle growth, homeostasis, and regeneration. The $557,357 award, effective from March 14, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will support a University of Wisconsin-Madison research project investigating the ability of a...
- The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $198,263 Project Grant under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.846) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska. The research project aims to investigate the role of the protein Mitsugumin 53 (MG53) in preventing muscle atrophy during periods of disuse, which can contribute to age-related sarcopenia and frailty. The research will explore how...
- The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $439,791 Project Grant to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center on March 1, 2025 under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.846). The grant supports research to investigate the molecular mechanisms of myoblast fusion, which is essential for skeletal muscle development and regeneration. The research aims to understand the cellular and...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), will support research to elucidate the role of lysine acetylation in regulating skeletal muscle contractile function. The $1,853,872.00 award, spanning from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will be provided to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate how the...
- The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $554,797 Project Grant under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. This 5-year grant, awarded on September 1, 2025, will support research to define the rate of myonuclear turnover in adult skeletal muscles, identify the mechanisms by which myonuclei are degraded, and unravel the targeting complexes and cellular...
- This $820,142 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research (CFDA 93.846) program. The grant aims to investigate the effects of early-life physical inactivity in mice on muscle quality, function, and frailty development in adulthood. Specifically, the research will examine the regulatory aspects of the extracellular matrix, muscle macrophages, and physical...
- This $488,575 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), will support research to understand how myosin binding protein-C (MYBP-C) regulates skeletal muscle contraction and how mutations in the genes encoding slow and fast MYBP-C (MYBPC1 and MYBPC2) cause congenital skeletal muscle diseases. The research team at the University of Arizona will use...
- This federal 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), aims to investigate the functional roles of microRNA-320 (miR-320) in skeletal muscle. The $374,204 award to The Leland Stanford Junior University will fully characterize a muscle-specific miR-320 knockout mouse model, examine the underlying mechanisms of the observed muscle wasting...
- The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $1,829,773 project grant under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) to the University of Florida. The grant, awarded on September 5, 2025, will fund research to investigate the mechanisms by which sepsis harms muscles and impedes proper regeneration, with the goal of developing new strategies to improve septic patients' recovery of skeletal muscle function...
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 $352,777 to support research into the regulation of sarcomere growth in skeletal muscle. The research aims to: 1) Identify molecular targets that impact sarcomere addition during muscle growth, and 2) Use in vivo protein tagging methods to study the dynamics of newly synthesized sarcomere proteins. This 2-year project, with a period of performance from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2027, is being conducted by Kansas State University to fundamentally advance the understanding of signaling pathways required for sarcomere addition and establish new techniques for studying sarcomere dynamics.
