Single cell RNA sequencing unravels mechanisms underlying senescence-like phenotypes of alveolar macrophages

Abstract excerpt

Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are resident innate immune cells that play vital roles in maintaining lung physiological functions. However, the effects of aging on their dynamics, heterogeneity, and transcriptional profiles remain to be fully elucidated. Through single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we identified CBFβ as an indispensable transcription factor that ensures AM self-renewal. Intriguingly, despite...
