Plasma proteomics-based organ-specific aging for all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality: a prospective cohort study

1 year 1 month ago
Individual's aging rates vary across organs. However, there are few methods for assessing aging at organ levels and whether they contribute differently to mortalities remains unknown. We analyzed data from 45,821 adults in the UK Biobank, using plasma proteomics and machine learning to estimate biological ages for 12 major organs. The differences between biological age and chronological age, referred to as "age gaps," were calculated for each organ. Partial correlation analyses were used to...

Clonal dynamics after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation

1 year 1 month ago
Allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) replaces the stem cells responsible for blood production with those from a donor^(1,2). Here, to quantify dynamics of long-term stem cell engraftment, we sequenced genomes from 2,824 single-cell-derived haematopoietic colonies of ten donor-recipient pairs taken 9-31 years after HLA-matched sibling HCT³. With younger donors (18-47 years at transplant), 5,000-30,000 stem cells had engrafted and were still contributing to haematopoiesis at the...

The impact of cysteine on lifespan in three model organisms: A systematic review and meta-analysis

1 year 1 month ago
Cysteine is an amino acid present in thiol proteins and often dictates their secondary structures. Although considered nonessential, cysteine may be essential for patients with certain metabolic diseases and can reduce the requirement for dietary methionine. Cysteine and some of its derivatives, such as N-acetylcysteine, are considered antioxidants and widely used in animal aging studies. To provide insights into the potential anti-aging effects of cysteine, we systematically reviewed and...

Arginine metabolism is a biomarker of red blood cell and human aging

1 year 1 month ago
Increasing global life expectancy motivates investigations of molecular mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases. This study examines age-associated changes in red blood cells (RBCs), the most numerous host cell in humans. Four cohorts, including healthy individuals and patients with sickle cell disease, were analyzed to define age-dependent changes in RBC metabolism. Over 15,700 specimens from 13,757 humans were examined, a major expansion over previous studies of RBCs in aging. Multi-omics...
