Autophagy and Mitochondrial Homeostasis: Unraveling the Intracellular Pathways to Cellular Health

Introduction Mitochondria are important organelles that are constantly moving and involved in producing ATP, maintaining calcium levels, responding to oxidative stress, and regulating cell death. If mitochondria become dysfunctional or damaged, it can have serious consequences including cell death. It is crucial to keep mitochondria functioning properly for overall cell health. Mitophagy is a process…

Evidence of a pan-tissue decline in stemness during human aging

Aging (Albany NY). 2024 Apr 4;16. doi: 10.18632/aging.205717. Online ahead of print.
ABSTRACT
Despite their biological importance, the role of stem cells in human aging remains to be elucidated. In this work, we applied a machine learning methodology to GTEx transcriptome data and assigned stemness scores to 17,382 healthy samples from 30 human tissues aged between 20 and 79 years. We found that ~60% of the studied tissues exhibit a significant negative correlation between the subject’s age and stemness score. The only significant exception was the uterus, where we observed an increased stemness with age. Moreover, we observed that stemness is positively correlated with cell proliferation and negatively correlated with cellular senescence. Finally, we also observed a trend that hematopoietic stem cells derived from older individuals might have higher stemness scores. In conclusion, we assigned stemness scores to human samples and show evidence of a pan-tissue loss of stemness during hu..
