A study in Nature Medicine identified tissue-specific signs of aging and then paired it with transcriptomic data from blood to develop aging clocks that reflect tissue structural integrity and organ-level physiological fitness in health and disease. go.nature.com/4zthv0F #medsky 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows assessment of biological age and pathological alterations in human tissues via histopathology.

Happy to share our study detecting a multitude of virus-specific resident T cells in oral mucosa - and the communication networks keeping them there! 👅

How do #ticks manipulate the human #immunesystem in order to introduce pathogens? A team led by #MedUniVienna shows that tick saliva alters skin immune responses, helping transmit #BorreliaBurgdorferi - the cause of #LymeDisease. 🗞️ @natcomms.nature.com
