Abstract Biomarkers of aging provide insight into the biological effects interventions and diseases. However, most biomarkers today are based on measurements derived from bulk cell measurements, making it challenging to interpret whether an effect is due changes in type composition (systemic factors) or a intrinsic effect. Single-cell RNA sequencing provides unique platform simultaneously compare aging-associated both cellular level. We first generated single-cell combined automated human...
Abstract Senolytics, small molecules targeting cellular senescence, have emerged as potential therapeutics to enhance health span. However, their impact on epigenetic age remains unstudied. This study aimed assess the effects of Dasatinib and Quercetin (DQ) senolytic treatment DNA methylation (DNAm), age, immune cell subsets. In a Phase I pilot study, 19 participants received DQ for 6 months, with DNAm measured at baseline, 3 months. Significant increases in acceleration were observed...
