Gene Expression Map Created of Cells in Aging Brain

Researchers say they have mapped the gene expression of each individual brain cell during aging in the fruit fly. Their study (“A Single-Cell Transcriptome Atlas of the Aging Drosophila Brain”), published in Cell could lead to new insights on the workings of the brain as it ages, according to the scientists. “The diversity of cell types and regulatory states in the brain, and how these change during aging, remains largely unknown. We present a single-cell transcriptome atl
