AAVmediated FGF21 gene therapy promotes health span extension by wholebody tissuespecific adaptations

Bosch and colleagues described that one-time AAV-FGF21 gene therapy in aged mice induced whole-body tissue-specific adaptations, including improved metabolic and mitochondrial function, restored proteostasis, and reduced adiposity, inflammation, fibrosis, and amyloidosis, thereby maintaining systemic cell fitness, preventing multi-organ age-related pathology, and prolonging health span.

Human brain stimulation engages different gene programs in different cell types

Nature’s brief summary of a paper (by Moore et al.) which transcriptomically maps how electrical stimulation of ex vivo human brain tissue triggers a range of previously unknown gene expression programs.

Genetic signatures of stimulation coincide with the strengthening of cell assemblies in samples of human brain tissue.
