MDI Biological Laboratory Receives Grant to Study Tendon Regeneration

September 17, 2020

Prayag Murawala, Ph.D., a scientist at the MDI Biological Laboratory, has received a grant of $332,000 to address the problem of tendon injury. He is seeking to determine if the same cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for regenerating tendons during limb regeneration in the axolotl, or Mexican salamander, also come into play during tendon regen…

Romain Madelaine, Ph.D., Joins MDI Biological Laboratory Faculty

September 16, 2020

The MDI Biological Laboratory has announced that Romain Madelaine, Ph.D., has been appointed to the faculty as an assistant professor. He will study neuron and muscle tissue regeneration at the laboratory’s Kathryn W. Davis Center for Regenerative Biology and Aging.

MDI Biological Laboratory Scientists Decipher Role of a Stress Response Gene

September 9, 2020

A team of scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory led by James A. Coffman, Ph.D., is shedding new light on the gene regulatory pathways activated by cortisol, a hormone secreted in response to stress. Their research helps explain why exposure to chronic stress early in life shortens lifespan and contribute to age-related chronic diseases later in life — long after the source of stress has been removed.…

‘The Molecular Machine Between Diet and Longevity’ to be subject of online Science Café

May 29, 2020

In this Science Café presentation, MDI Biological Laboratory assistant professor Jarod Rollins, Ph.D., will explore connections between our diet, the proteins created by our cells, and the rate at which we age.

MDI Biological Laboratory Will Use New Animal Model to Study Aging

January 13, 2020

Thanks to a $75,000 grant from The Cotswold Foundation, the MDI Biological Laboratory will add the African turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) to its growing roster of animal models, thus strengthening the institution’s longstanding tradition of engaging in comparative research to gain an understanding of the mechanisms involved in aging and regeneration.

MDI Biological Scientists Identify Pathways That Extend Lifespan by 500 Percent

January 8, 2020

Scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory, in collaboration with scientists from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato, Calif., and Nanjing University in China, have identified synergistic cellular pathways for longevity that amplify lifespan fivefold in C. elegans, a nematode worm used as a model in aging research.

Scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory Are Decoding the Genetic Mechanisms of Aging

October 10, 2019

A new paper by MDI Biological Laboratory scientists Jarod Rollins, Ph.D., and Aric Rogers, Ph.D., describes the mechanisms by which longevity is regulated in the cell. The identification of these mechanisms will serve as a road map for screening new, more specific drugs to prolong healthy lifespan.

 

MDI Biological Laboratory Scientist Receives Federal Grant to Study Aging

October 9, 2019

The MDI Biological Laboratory has announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded a grant in the amount of $373,500 per year for five years to Aric Rogers, Ph.D., to support his research on the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing aging.

 

Grant Awarded to MDI Biological Laboratory Scientist James A. Coffman, Ph.D.

August 26, 2019

The MDI Biological Laboratory has announced that James A. Coffman, Ph.D., has received a two-year grant totaling $166,000 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for his research on the regulation of cortisol, a naturally occurring steroid that governs how the body responds to stress.

MDI Biological Laboratory to Sponsor ‘Resetting the Aging Clock’ Lecture Series

July 10, 2019

The interface between regeneration and aging will be the subject of a “Resetting the Aging Clock” lecture series for the public by leading scientists in the field of regenerative biology and aging to be held July 22 through Aug. 1 at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine.
