Immune System Signatures Correlate with the Near Term Risk of Developing Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is universal; everyone develops fatty atherosclerotic plaques in their arteries at some point, and to some degree. Plaques narrow blood vessels to impede blood flow, and rupture of unstable plaque causes heart attack, stroke, and embolism.

Frailty assessment in naturally aged mouse models: classification, limitations, and future directions

Naturally aged mice provide an important platform for studying frailty because functional decline emerges during biological aging rather than through acute injury or artificial manipulation.

Amyloid-β Seeding as a Basis for a Blood Test for Alzheimer's Disease

Blood tests to assess Alzheimer's disease risk and progression exist, for example based on the presence of circulating varieties of tau protein, but there is a great deal of room for improvement.

Integrative Analysis Uncover the Effects and Multi‐Omics Features of Thigh Muscle Fat Infiltration

Thigh muscle fat infiltration (TMFI), estimated from MRI, is associated with increased mortality and diseases affecting multiple organ systems and mediates the effects of lifestyle factors on health. Multi-omics analyses delineate the genetic, cellular, transcriptional, proteomic, and metabolic architecture of TMFI.
