Abstract Aging affects lung function, predisposing older adults to respiratory diseases; however, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of lung aging are not fully understood. Leveraging single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data from 184 and 70 lung parenchyma samples, respectively, we present an analytical platform to dissect the cell composition, gene expression modules, and regulatory changes linked to multiple hallmarks of lung aging.

| Nature Verified
Abstract The skin is the largest human organ and a site of substantial disease burden, yet its cellular and molecular organization across the body is largely undefined. Here we construct an organ-wide single-cell spatial atlas of ~1.2 million cells from normal adult human skin, resolving the location of 45 cell types across 114 samples encompassing 15 anatomic sites.
