By analyzing millions of spatial points across nine organs in male mice, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and BGI Research developed high-precision spatial transcriptomic maps. These maps reveal the spatial distribution of over 70 cell types, providing a detailed view of aging’s spatial characteristics.
Adults in the United States age 65 and older struggle to meet physical activity guidelines, which recommend 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week.
