), & protein misfolding
Similar combined transcriptomics/proteomics approach in young/old mice
@NatureComms
. Computational integration of the aging proteome with sc-transcriptomes predicts the source of regulated proteins and creates an unbiased reference map of the aging lung.
Really cool model of orthotopic lung transplant developed by
@Natalia94901408
showed that inhibition of B cell–dependent lymphoid follicle formation prevented lymphocytic bronchiolitis after lung transplantation.
