Motivation: Since their introduction about 10 years ago, methylation clocks have provided broad insights into the biological age of different species, tissues, and in the context of several diseases or aging. However, their application to single-cell methylation data remains a major challenge, because of the inherent sparsity of such data, as many CpG sites are not covered. A methylation clock applicable on single-cell level could help to further disentangle the processes that drive the ticking of epigenetic clocks.

Reduced dependence on antirejection agents, improved long-term allograft survival, and induction of operational tolerance remain major unmet needs in organ transplantation due to the limitations of current immunosuppressive therapies. To address this challenge, investigators are exploring the therapeutic potential of adoptively transferred host- or donor-derived regulatory immune cells. Extracellular vesicles of endosomal origin (exosomes) secreted by these cells seem to be important contributors to their immunoregulatory properties.
