An Epigenetic Signature of Vulnerable Neurons is Under Selective Pressure Associated with Longevity Across Placental Mammals

Age is the primary risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, which are characterized by cell-type-specific vulnerability 1. Yet brain-aging mechanisms remain unclear given the complex, interacting age-associated pathways across diverse neural cell types. Here, we dissect cell type- cell state-specific aging gene regu...
