This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under CFDA program 93.853 "Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders", is funding research to investigate how physical force regulates gene expression and transcriptional states in glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant brain tumor. The $452,375 award to The Trustees of Columbia University will leverage the diverse landscape of tissue stiffness in the infiltrated human brain to define the correlation between nuclear mechano-transduction and GBM transcriptional states. The researchers will also control mechano-transduction levels in human GBM cell lines to measure the changes in transcriptional states, with the goal of identifying novel mechanisms that can guide the development of therapeutic strategies against GBM. The project period runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
