Aging (Aging-US) Research
In this new study, researchers provide the first evidence of a pan-tissue decrease of stemness during human aging.
Despite their biological importance, the role of stem cells in human aging remains to be elucidated. In this work, researchers applied a machine learning methodology to GTEx transcriptome data and assigned stemness scores to 17,382 healthy samples from 30 human tissues aged between 20 and 79 years…
In this study, researchers use neuroimaging to see how menopause alters brain structure and connectivity in postmenopausal women.
The purpose of this study was not only to compare the brain volume changes between premenopausal and postmenopausal women, but also to evaluate the functional connectivity between the targeted brain regions associated with structural atrophy in postmenopausal women.
In this study, researchers investigated age-associated gene expression changes in the prefrontal cortex of male and female brains and used machine learning to develop age prediction models.
