Abstract:'Biological aging clocks' - composite molecular markers thought to capture an individual's biological age - have been traditionally developed through bulk-level analyses of mixed cells and tissues. However, recent evidence highlights the importance of gaining single-cell-level insights into the aging process. Microglia are key immune cells in the brain shown to adapt functionally in aging and disease. Recent studies have generated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets that transcriptionally profile m… Show more
