Want to know your true biological age? A new study in Engineering introduces gtAge, an innovative aging clock built by combining IgG N-glycome and blood transcriptome data with a deep reinforcement learning tool called AlphaSnake. It predicts age more accurately than single-omics models and links biological aging to key health markers like cholesterol and blood sugar, offering a clearer view of how our bodies really age over time.
Increasing bone density in patients with a rare genetic condition that causes bones to break easily does not prevent fractures, a large clinical trial has found.
A recent study in Engineering reveals that IgG fucosylation is closely tied to severe COVID-19. Researchers found altered fucosylation—especially a drop in IgG2 fucosylation—in patients, linked to disease severity and body temperature. Key enzymes FUT8 and FUCA1 regulate these changes. The study also shows that Fuzheng Jiedu Decoction may ease inflammation by targeting fucosylation, offering new clues for treating severe COVID-19.
