- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to elucidate how the fluid-like properties of tissue extracellular matrices influence cell fate decisions in response to growth factors. The $480,237 grant, awarded to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) on August 1, 2024, will fund the development and characterization of viscoelastic materials to study the impact of matrix viscous dissipation on cell...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded The Pennsylvania State University $432,575 on August 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop and validate technologies for controlled three-dimensional protein condensation to improve cryo-electron tomography sample preparation. The project addresses air-water interface damage that compromises sample quality and limits cryo-EM applications to many biological systems. The recipient...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded The Pennsylvania State University $407,603 on March 5, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to investigate brain-body allostasis via longitudinal in vivo imaging. The research examines how astrocytes—non-neuronal glial cells in the brain—coordinate physiological state shifts and facilitate whole-body allostasis during stress response. The study uses simultaneous in vivo recording of...
