    Full Abstract

    Multiomic profiling of SA-bGal-sorted human monocytes proposing a transitional senescence-like bridge to an inflammatory state.

    02

    Key Findings

    1. 01

      Variance of SA-bGal higher in older donors; mean not significantly different

    2. 02

      Pseudotime suggests bridge from classical monocytes to inflammatory state; AP-1 dynamics

    3. 03

      Older-donor monocytes ~2.2-fold enriched in sepsis-associated MS1 state

    Methodology
    Flow cytometry, bulk RNA/ATAC-seq, single-cell multiome
    Limitations
