NPJ Aging
RNA patterns varied with age in human lung and brain tissue
An observational analysis of human lung and brain tissue mapped age-related differences in chemical marks on RNA and how RNA molecules were processed.An observational analysis of human lung and brain tissue mapped age-related differences in chemical marks on RNA and how RNA molecules were processed.
Cross-sectional studyLung
Who was studiedHuman lung and hippocampus tissue samples
What changedHuman RNA marks and processing patterns varied with age, with changes most prominent in the sampled middle-aged groups
The catchAging itself could drive the RNA changes, rather than RNA changes driving aging
