For example, a recent study aimed at determining whether age affects different cell types in NVU resulted in the model discriminating Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from healthy control (HC) samples, revealing 15 genes related to accelerated aging (AAG): IGF1R, MXI1, RB1, PPARA, NFE2L2, STAT5B, FOS, PRKCD, YWHAZ, HTT, MAPK9, HSPA9, SDHC, PRKDC and PDPK1 [42]. Here, PRKCD is linked to Alzheimer disease.
