A feed-forward loop between niche adenosine and Gzmk⁺ CD8 T cells propagates systemic inflammaging

Lin Guo, Rui Zheng, Qianqian Zhan, Xin Yu, Qi Zhang, Jiaxi Yao, Xiaoqing Tan, Xin Li, Ou Zhang, Peiyun Liu, Chenghan Wang, Ye Yao, Rui Ma, Xiao Wu, Chenyuan Wang, , Wenqiang Cao

This study identifies an adenosine-Gzmk axis that drives T cell aging and systemic inflammaging, showing that targeting it can reverse aging phenotypes and extend lifespan in mice.

Gut bacterial sphingolipid production modulates dysregulated skin lipid homeostasis

Min-Ting Lee, Xiaoqing Tan, Henry H. Le, Kevin R. Besler, Sharon D Thompson, Tamia A. Harris-Tryon, Elizabeth L. Johnson

This study shows that gut bacteria producing sphingolipids transfer these lipids to the skin, altering skin barrier function and gene expression.
