Atlas of the aging mouse intestine

In this study, we generated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from epithelial cells in the intestine, focusing on six distinct subsections during aging: the proximal small intestine, intermediate small intestine, distal small intestine, cecum, proximal colon and distal colon regions. Using a hashtag-labeled method, we aimed to create a comprehensive atlas of cellular changes during aging within these regions. Our objective is to uncover the underlying mechanisms of aging, leveraging the intestine as a model due to its highly proliferative nature. This dataset will provide valuable insights into the cellular dynamics of aging and contribute to the broader understanding of age-related processes.
