This federal Project Grant award of $1,076,760 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to better understand the genetic underpinnings and disease mechanisms of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), a group of neurodegenerative disorders affecting personality, cognition, and communication. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: 1) Developing a novel "humanized" mouse model of FTLD by transplanting...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $435,875 to Temple University to create a mouse model system for studying the JC virus (JCV) ORF4 protein. JCV is the causative agent of the fatal brain disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which primarily affects immunocompromised individuals. The project aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which the JCV ORF4 protein induces reorganization of promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs), which play critical roles in the antiviral immune response, in order to understand how this contributes to JCV infection progression. An innovative mouse model system will be developed to further evaluate the functional roles of the ORF4 protein. This research seeks to advance the understanding of JCV biology and PML pathogenesis, with the goal of informing the development of effective treatment options for this devastating neurological disorder.
