FOA Purpose |
This FOA issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA),
National Institutes of Health, encourages grant applications from
institutions/organizations that propose to develop research on single cell
biology to enhance the understanding of the mechanisms of normal aging and of
age-related diseases. Applications using -omics
technologies, imaging, optofluidic platforms, mass
spectroscopy, whole genome sequencing, and other tools and technologies at
the single cell level are encouraged since it is expected that the single
cell approach will improve the determination of unique and biologically
significant properties of tissues and organs during the aging process. Although we know that cells are heterogeneous, for
example they might be at different stages in the cell cycle or at different
stages in tumor progression, most contemporary studies use population of
cells, thus providing a limited average view of cellular and tissue
function. This is due mainly to the lack of tools to study single
cells. This is now changing. Advances in technology have made
more single cell studies feasible and will convert cellular heterogeneity
from a source of noise to a source of new discoveries. |
