A Single-Nuclei Paired Multiomic Analysis of the Human Midbrain Reveals Age- and Parkinson’s Disease–Associated Glial Changes

A Single-Nuclei Paired Multiomic Analysis of the Human Midbrain Reveals Age- and Parkinson’s Disease–Associated Glial Changes

Single-nucleus Multi-omics Analysis Reveals Age-related and Parkinson’s Disease-related Changes in Neuroglia in the Human Midbrain Research Background Age is a major risk factor for Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Although the significant role of age in PD onset is known, details about how age alters the gene expression and regulatory landscape of the br...

Restoration of Neuronal Progenitors by Partial Reprogramming in the Aged Neurogenic Niche

Scientific Research Report Background Introduction For a long time, aging has been considered an irreversible process. However, recent research suggests that aging is a biological process that can be regulated. Various interventions have been shown to delay or even reverse certain characteristics of aging. Partial reprogramming is a method that rev...

Inhibition of S6K Lowers Age-Related Inflammation and Increases Lifespan Through the Endolysosomal System

Inhibition of S6K Reduces Age-Related Inflammation and Extends Lifespan through the Endosomal-Lysosomal System Research Background and Problem Description As organisms age, chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging) and declined immune function (immunosenescence) become important pathological foundations of many diseases in the elderly, such as ...

Nature of Epigenetic Aging from a Single-Cell Perspective

Research on the Essence of Epigenetic Aging from a Single-Cell Perspective Research Background As biological research progresses, scientists have discovered that changes in DNA methylation (DNAm) constitute one of the most reliable predictors of age—known as the epigenetic clock. However, the mechanisms underlying what these clocks precisely measur...

Epithelial−Mesenchymal Transition Induced by Tumor Cell-Intrinsic PD-L1 Signaling Predicts a Poor Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in PD-L1-High Lung Cancer

Tumor Cell-Intrinsic PD-L1 Signaling Induces Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) Predicting Poor Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in PD-L1 High-Expressing Lung Cancer Research Background and Motivation In cancer immunotherapy, Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibits immune responses by binding to Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) receptors o...

Hypoxia- and Postirradiation Reoxygenation-Induced HMHA1/ARHGAP45 Expression Contributes to Cancer Cell Invasion in a HIF-Dependent Manner

Contribution of HMHA1/ARHGAP45 Expression Induced by Hypoxia and Post-Radiation Reoxygenation to Cancer Cell Invasion: An HIF-Dependent Mechanism Background and Motivation Prior studies have extensively demonstrated that cancer cells in solid tumors acquire malignant characteristics such as invasiveness and treatment resistance under hypoxic condit...
