Women are more likely than men to develop dementia, and not just because they tend to live longer. One reason may be menopause, the time in midlife when sex hormones drop and menstruation stops—and which some researchers are coming to see as a stress test for the brain. scim.ag/4hMq6Dr

Menopause puts the brain at risk. Researchers are starting to learn why
Shifts in blood proteins could point to ways to fight menopause “brain fog” and prevent later dementia

#Aging tissue loses its cellular diversity as stem cells run out. Tzu-Chiao Lu & Hongjie Li explore a new @plosbiology.org study showing that early patterns in intestinal #StemCells predict which lineages will dominate in late life in flies. 🧪Research Article plos.io/3SsQFVs Primer plos.io/4wVkXPp
Mapping and predicting stem cell lineage dynamics in the aging fly gut. (A) In the Drosophila midgut, tissue integrity is maintained by a pool of intestinal stem cells (ISCs). During aging, the gut becomes dysplastic due to ISC overproliferation. (B) High-resolution lineage tracing is achieved by recording cumulative somatic mutations onto a genetic cassette. Because daughter cells inherit parent mutations while adding their own, reading these endpoint barcodes allows researchers to infer the branching relationships among sampled cells. (C) By applying Bayesian survival modeling and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), researchers can evaluate clonal persistence and structure evolution. This computational pipeline identifies dominant early-origin lineages that are more likely to persist and expand during aging. Figure created with BioRender.com and modified in Adobe Illustrator.
