Abstract
Age-related clonal hematopoiesis in the elderly is mediated by expansion of mutant pre-leukemic hematopoietic cells, but the mechanism remains unclear. Recently, Agarwal et al. found elderly individuals exhibit the gut microbial dysbiosis with enriched Gram-negative bacteria that release ADP-heptose into systemic circulation, which promotes pre-leukemic cell expansion through ALPK1-dependent signaling.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Molecular Medicine (TMM) aims to offer concise and contextualized perspectives on the latest research advancing biomedical science toward better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. It focuses on research at the intersection of basic biology and clinical research, covering new concepts in human biology and pathology with clear implications for diagnostics and therapy. TMM reviews bridge the gap between bench and bedside, discussing research from preclinical studies to patient-enrolled trials. The major themes include disease mechanisms, tools and technologies, diagnostics, and therapeutics, with a preference for articles relevant to multiple themes. TMM serves as a platform for discussion, pushing traditional boundaries and fostering collaboration between scientists and clinicians. The journal seeks to publish provocative and authoritative articles that are also accessible to a broad audience, inspiring new directions in molecular medicine to enhance human health.
