Biomarkers of aging help researchers understand how diseases influence the body over time. However, most current biomarkers rely on measurements from mixed cell populations, making it difficult to distinguish between changes caused by shifts in cell types and aging processes occurring within individual cells. In this study, titled “Single-cell transcriptomics reveal intrinsic and systemic T cell aging in COVID-19 and HIV” and published in Volume 18 of Aging-US, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze aging-related changes in human T cells. They developed Tictock, a single-cell…
