Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Obesity-induced inflammation exacerbates clonal hematopoiesis
Characterized by the accumulation of somatic mutations in blood cell lineages, clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is frequent in aging and involves the expansion of mutated hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSC/Ps) that leads ...

A common founding clone with TP53 and PTEN mutations gives rise to a concurrent germ cell tumor and acute megakaryoblastic leukemia [PDF]
We report the findings from a patient who presented with a concurrent mediastinal germ cell tumor (GCT) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Bone marrow pathology was consistent with a diagnosis of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AML M7), and biopsy of an ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Developmental hematopoietic stem cell variation explains clonal hematopoiesis later in life
Clonal hematopoiesis becomes increasingly common with age, but its cause is enigmatic because driver mutations are often absent. Serial observations infer weak selection indicating variants are acquired much earlier in life with unexplained initial ...

In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Protocol for monitoring clonal hematopoiesis in transgenic mouse models using multispectral imaging
Summary: Clonal hematopoiesis involves the clonal expansion of hematopoietic cells, potentially progressing into hematological malignancies. Here, we present a protocol for the development and characterization of two mouse models designed to simulate ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Clonal Hematopoiesis
The evolution of antiretroviral therapies (ART) has tremendously improved the life expectancy of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH), which is currently similar to the general population.

Targeting the Spleen as an Alternative Site for Hematopoiesis [PDF]
Bone marrow is the main site for hematopoiesis in adults. It acts as a niche for hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and contains non-hematopoietic cells that contribute to stem cell dormancy, quiescence, self-renewal and differentiation.

Clinical Implications of Clonal Hematopoiesis [PDF]
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH)-an expansion of blood cells derived from a single hematopoietic stem cell-is a defining feature of hematologic cancers, but recently CH was also found to be a frequent consequence of aging. When aging-associated CH results from acquisition of a somatic mutation in a driver gene associated with leukemia, and this mutation is ...
