Project Grant RF1AG095193
- 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 $126,956.00 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on identifying mechanisms of adult neurogenesis in the aging brain. The key objectives of this project are to: Utilize single cell spatial transcriptomics to define the pathways of generating new neurons in aged neurogenic niches following transient, antisense oligonucleotide-mediated suppression of the PTBP1...
- This federal Project Grant award of $238,500 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, will support research conducted by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop a new phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligonucleotide (PMO) therapeutic for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). The research aims to create a highly effective PMO that can...
- This $15,046,454 project grant from the National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will fund research at the University of California, San Diego to improve understanding of proteomic changes preceding Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The research will analyze longitudinal plasma samples from 2,836 women in the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study cohort using the Somamscan proteomics platform to identify novel...
- This federal Project Grant award of $3,221,450.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports research to define how neuronal hyperexcitability in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) contributes to the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related behavioral deficits in mouse models. The research aims to determine the effect of inhibiting RSC layer 5 cells on spatial memory and navigation, as well as when hyperexcitability emerges in these cells across different AD...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,459,072 project grant to the J. David Gladstone Institutes under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to monitor and manipulate inhibitory interneuron cell populations in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. The 2-year project aims to use dual cell-type-specific enhancer-associated adeno-associated viruses (enhancer-AAVs) to independently monitor and control parvalbumin (PVALB) and somatostatin (SST) inhibitory interneurons...
- This $500,000 Project Grant was awarded on September 15, 2024 by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research program) to Neucyte Inc., a minority-owned small business specializing in advanced biomedical research and development. The funding will support the development of a miniaturized "mini-brain" microphysiological system (MPS) platform using Alzheimer's disease (AD) patient-derived cells. The goal is to create a scalable, reproducible in vitro brain model that can...
- This federal Project Grant award of $127,224 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports research to elucidate the mechanistic role of S-nitrosylated phospholipase D3 (SNO-PLD3) in the microglial and neuronal pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The principal investigator at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) will conduct studies to investigate how the posttranslational modification of SNO-PLD3 contributes to AD pathology, including amyloid-beta...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $773,816 project grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to conduct comparative studies on new tau-directed Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) mouse models and human AD/ADRD brain tissues. The project aims to generate single-cell spatial proteo-transcriptomics maps to molecularly characterize aberrant RNA splicing and abnormal protein products in specific...
- This federal Project Grant award for $528,876, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), supports research to investigate the cis- and trans-genetic regulation of brain transcriptomics and proteomics associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). The key goals of the project are to: Estimate genome-wide cis- and trans-acting quantitative trait loci (QTLs) effects for transcriptome-wide genes and proteome-wide proteins across 4 brain...
This Project Grant award of $3,138,871 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to elucidate the full repertoire of neuropeptidome signatures and their biosynthetic proteases in normal human brain regions and assess dysregulation of these systems in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The 4-year project aims to close key gaps in understanding human brain neuropeptide systems and their disruption in AD pathogenesis through multi-omic analyses. Specifically, the research will define neuropeptidome compositions and proteases in the hippocampus, cortex, and hypothalamus of normal and AD/MCI brains to identify dysregulated neuropeptides, such as chromogranins and VGF, and assess their impacts on neuronal activities and toxicities. This comprehensive investigation of human brain neuropeptide systems could yield insights to support the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for AD and related dementias.
