Time to catch up on some #Senescence papers, starting with beautiful work by @corina_amor_MD, Judith Freucht & @JosefLeibold. They used #CART #CellTherapy to clear #Senescent cells, and you'll never guess what happened next! nature.com/articles/s4158…
Just kidding, you guessed it: disease model mice got better. Props to the authors for A) inducing #Senescence in 3 different ways, B) using 2 models of #NASH/liver #Fibrosis, and C) validating their senescence observations in human samples of #Cancer and #Atherosclerosis.
The linchpin of the paper was identifying a specific membrane marker on #Senescent cells, uPAR. They used bulk #Transcriptomics to identify candidates, then narrowed down with #Proteomic data. Go #Omics!
They didn't explore whether uPAR is causative for the #Senescent phenotype.

Check out the latest preprint from the lab on "Integration of #Genomic & Multi-tissue #proteomic data in neurodegenerative diseases" lead by @chengran2020 @WUSTLdbbs in @ccrugom lab at @WUSTLmed supported by @cziscience via @medrxivpreprint medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #tweetorial ⬇️ 
This is the first #proteomic study that uses high throughput pQTL in neurological relevant tissues to identify novel genetic loci regulating protein levels, which will improve our understanding of the biology of #Alzheimers, #Parkinsons, & other neurodegenerative diseases
We identified hundreds of novel pQTLs in CSF, plasma, & Brain linking novel genes, biomarkers and drug targets with #Alzheimers, #Parkinsons
