It's one thing to have a cell atlas of the human body.
It's another to build foundation #AI models, test perturbations, and establish causal effects.

CHIP mutations as predictive biomarker for cardiovascular disease risk
By
–
We keep ignoring CHIP (clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential= mutations in our blood stem cells) even though it is no longer "indeterminate." A key marker for risk of cardiovascular events and blood cancers. It should be routinely assayed in older adults.

Tracking Organ Aging: AI Insights into Internal Biological Clocks
By
–
Our organs age at different tempo. About 1 in 5 of us are "extreme agers" for an organ.
3 recent reports highlight how we can track that and the exciting implications for these internal clocks.
