The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $471,885 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2027. The project aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying brain vascular endothelial cell (BVEC) disruption following vascular brain injury, which can contribute to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). Specifically, the project will test hypotheses related to how the glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan and...
This $1,919,387 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to assess the impact of reduced cerebral blood flow and neurovascular coupling on brain function and homeostasis in aging. The project aims to use a novel computational homeostatic modeling (HOMOD) approach to calculate regional brain tissue and capillary blood levels of CO2, O2, and pH in young and elderly subjects. The research will utilize calibrated fMRI and fMRS...
This Project Grant award of $437,875 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund a 2-year research project at the University of California, San Diego to quantify neurovascular protein lifetimes in the central nervous system under healthy, aging, and Alzheimer's disease conditions. The key objectives are to generate a comprehensive atlas of neurovascular protein lifetimes and identify changes associated with aging and Alzheimer's disease. The project will...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $416,480 to the University of Washington to map the landscape of the aged human brain and develop neurodegenerative disease models. The award will fund a two-phase research project that aims to: 1) identify molecular drivers of brain aging by applying explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods to human brain datasets, and 2) manipulate these aging drivers in human induced pluripotent stem...
