Generation and characterization of chicken monocyte-derived dendritic cells by Elie Ngantcha Tatchou, Elie Ngantcha Tatchou, Romane Milcamps, Romane Milcamps, Guillaume Oldenhove, Bénédicte Lambrecht, Fiona Ingrao

“…In chicken, DCs have mainly been derived from bone marrow cell cultures, with limited characterization from blood monocytes.MethodsThe present study takes advantage of newly available chicken immunological tools to further characterize chicken monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs), focusing on their phenotype, and functions, including antigen capture and T-cell stimulation, and response to live Newcastle disease virus (NDV) stimulation.ResultsAdherent chicken PBMCs were cultured with recombinant chicken granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4), for 5 days, leading to the upregulation of putative CD11c and MHCII, markers of DC differentiation. Subsequent stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or 24 h triggered phenotypic maturation of MoDCs, characterized by the increased surface expression of MHCII and co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD40, and elevated IL-12p40 secretion. …”

Precise and interpretable neural networks reveal epigenetic signatures of aging across youth in health and disease by David Martínez-Enguita, Thomas Hillerton, Julia Åkesson, Daniel Kling, Maria Lerm, Mika Gustafsson

“…We then retrieved their age-specific epigenetic signatures of aging and examined their functional enrichments in age-associated biological processes.ResultsWe introduce NCAE-CombClock, a novel highly precise (R2 = 0.978, mean absolute error = 1.96 years) deep neural network age clock integrating data-driven DNAm embeddings and established CpG age markers. Additionally, we developed a suite of interpretable NCAE-Age neural network classifiers tailored for adolescence and young adulthood. …”

The effect of the APOE4 genotype on physiological and cognitive health in randomised controlled trials with an exercise intervention: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Felicity S. E. Spencer, Richard J. Elsworthy, Leigh Breen, Jon R. B. Bishop, Connor Dunleavy, Sarah Aldred

“…Very low to moderate quality evidence showed that APOE4 carriers benefitted more than APOE4 non-carriers on cognitive (e.g. executive function, learning) and physical (e.g. relative telomere length) outcomes after exercise; and that APOE4 non-carriers benefited over carriers for physical (serum BDNF, gait speed) and cognitive (global cognition, verbal memory) markers. Very low quality evidence indicated that there was no evidence of difference between APOE4 carriers and non-carriers on physical function outcomes in meta-analysis. …”
