Long-term lineage commitment in hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy

1 year 2 months ago
Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) gene therapy (GT) may provide lifelong reconstitution of the hematopoietic system with gene-corrected cells¹. However, the effects of underlying genetic diseases, replication stress, and aging on hematopoietic reconstitution and lineage specification remain unclear. In this study, we analyzed hematopoietic reconstitution in 53 patients treated with lentiviral-HSC-GT for diverse conditions such as metachromatic leukodystrophy^(2,3) (MLD), Wiskott-Aldrich...

EnteroBase in 2025: exploring the genomic epidemiology of bacterial pathogens

1 year 2 months ago
This paper presents an update on the content, accessibility and analytical tools of the EnteroBase platform for web-based pathogen genome analysis. EnteroBase provides manually curated databases of genome sequence data and associated metadata from currently >1.1 million bacterial isolates, more recently including Streptococcus spp. and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in addition to Salmonella,Escherichia/Shigella,Clostridioides,Vibrio,Helicobacter,YersiniaandMoraxella. We have implemented the...

The dynamic crosslinking between gut microbiota and inflammation during aging: reviewing the nutritional and hormetic approaches against dysbiosis and inflammaging

1 year 2 months ago
The early-life gut microbiota (GM) is increasingly recognized for its contributions to human health and disease over time. Microbiota composition, influenced by factors like race, geography, lifestyle, and individual differences, is subject to change. The GM serves dual roles, defending against pathogens and shaping the host immune system. Disruptions in microbial composition can lead to immune dysregulation, impacting defense mechanisms. Additionally, GM aids digestion, releasing nutrients and...

Subjective well-being across the life course among non-industrialized populations

1 year 2 months ago
Subjective well-being (SWB) is often described as being U-shaped over adulthood, declining to a midlife slump and then improving thereafter. Improved SWB in later adulthood has been considered a paradox given age-related declines in health and social losses. While SWB has mostly been studied in high-income countries, it remains largely unexplored in rural subsistence populations lacking formal institutions that reliably promote social welfare. Here, we evaluate the age profile of SWB among three...

Cellular senescence contributes to spontaneous repair of the rat meniscus

1 year 2 months ago
Cellular senescence, traditionally associated with aging and chronic diseases, has recently been identified as a potential facilitator of tissue regeneration via a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). In rodents, the meniscus is known to regenerate spontaneously from the surrounding synovium, but the mechanism, and especially its relationship to cellular senescence, remains unclear. This study investigated the contribution of cellular senescence to spontaneous repair of the rat...
