Biological ageing can be defined as a gradual loss of homeostasis across various aspects of molecular and cellular function. Mammalian brains consist of thousands of cell types, which may be differentially susceptible or resilient to ageing. Here we present a comprehensive single-cell RNA sequencing dataset containing roughly 1.

Herein, in an effort to bridge the information gap, we review our experience with pHPT in adolescent patients under 20 y of age at a specialized tertiary referral center.
Methods: A retrospective chart review included all adolescent patients with pHPT, who underwent surgery at our institution between 2004 and 2023.
The gastrointestinal tract is a unique ecological niche with a high abundance of various Enterobacterales in close proximity. This allows the exchange of mobile genetic elements that carry resistance determinants. In the hospital setting, resistant organisms are prevalent and selective antibiotic pressure is high, providing a supportive platform for interspecies dissemination of resistance.
