Deletion of P311 enhances regeneration in aged skeletal muscle

While aging results in marked decreases in the capacity of skeletal muscle to repair following injury, as well as increases in fibrosis, the pathways and factors that regulate these processes are poorly defined. P311/Nrep (P311) is a highly conserved protein known to promote fibr...

Data-driven prediction of fifteen-year all-cause mortality among 2.3 million individuals in the VA

CMV-specific clonal expansion in human Th1 and GZMK⁺ CD8⁺ T cells

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common herpesvirus that establishes lifelong latency and becomes increasingly prevalent with age. To systematically delineate CMV-associated immune remodeling at single-cell resolution, we analysed six human cohorts (including two newly established coho...
