Project description:Aging is a major risk factor for various forms of disease. An enhanced understanding of the physiological mechanisms related to aging is urgently needed. Nonhuman primates (NHPs) have the closest genetic relationship to humans, making them an ideal model to explore the complicated aging process. Multiomics analysis of NHP peripheral blood offers a promising approach to evaluate new therapies and biomarkers. Here, we explored the mechanisms of aging using proteomics (serum and serum-derived exosomes [SDEs]) in rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) blood.

Project description:To understand the ontogeny and longevity of tissue-resident macrophages in nonhuman primates (NHPs), we employ a model of autologous hematopoietic stem progenitor cell (HSPC) transplantation with HSPCs genetically modified to be marked with clonal barcodes, allowing for subsequent analysis of clonal ontogeny.
