Aging is associated with increased breast cancer risk and outcomes are worse for the oldest and youngest patients, regardless of subtype. It is not known how cells in the breast tumor microenvironment are impacted by age and how they might contribute to age-related disease pathology. Here, we discover age-associated differences in cell states and interactions in human estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) using new computational analyses of existing single-cell gene expression data.

Article Synopsis
  • Controlling biofilm formation on dentures made from PMMA is crucial due to the biofilm's resistance to antifungal drugs.
  • The study explores the combination of two natural compounds, undecylenic acid (UDA) and farnesol (FAR), which may work together synergistically to prevent biofilm formation on PMMA.
  • The modified PMMA composites showed a decrease in biofilm and planktonic cell metabolic activity, indicating that UDA and FAR could be effective in reducing biofilm growth on dentures.
