Aging leads to progressive decline in organ and tissue integrity and function, partly due to loss of proteostasis and autophagy malfunctioning. A decrease with age in chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a selective type of lysosomal degradation, has been reported in various organs and cells from rodents and humans. Disruption of CMA recapitulates features of aging, whereas activating CMA in mice protects against age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's, retinal degeneration and/or atherosclerosis. However, sex-specific and cell-type-specific differences in CMA with aging remain unexplored. Here, using CMA reporter mice and single-cell transcriptomic data, we report that most organs and cell types show CMA decline with age, with males exhibiting a greater decline with aging. Reduced CMA is often associated with fewer lysosomes competent for CMA. Transcriptional downregulation of CMA genes may further contribute to CMA decline, especially in males. These findings suggest that CMA differences may influence organ vulnerability to age-related degeneration.

Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common food allergy in infants. This study aimed to identify peptide biomarkers predictive of tolerance in a Spanish population of children with CMA. We investigated specific IgE and IgG4 binding to sequential epitopes of the five major CM allergens (α-s1-, α-s2-, β-, and κ-caseins as well as β-lactoglobulin) using a microarray-based immunoassay.

Unlabelled: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a group of complex neurodevelopmental disorders and is characterized by impaired reciprocal social interaction and communication, as well as the presence of restricted interests and stereotyped and repetitive behaviors. As a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, the phenotype and severity of autism are extremely heterogeneous, with differences from one patient to another. Chromosome microarray (CMA) and fragile X syndrome analyses has been used as a powerful tool to identify new candidate genes for ASD.

Objective: To investigate the application of whole exome sequencing (WES) in the prenatal diagnosis of isolated fetal growth restriction (FGR) with a normal result by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA).
Methods: This retrospective study included singleton fetuses with isolated FGR in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital between July 2018 and August 2023. All fetuses were subjected to invasive prenatal testing with CMA and WES.
Background: T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy with a less favorable prognosis. The genetic background of T-ALL is widely heterogeneous, with the co-occurrence of multiple genetic abnormalities. The STIL-TAL1 rearrangement results from a submicroscopic deletion on chromosome 1p33 and is present in 15 - 25% of T-ALL cases.

Clark-Baraitser syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder associated with the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase gene TRIP12. Using chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), long-range PCR, breakpoint sequencing, and RNA analyses, we studied a 6-year-old female presenting with developmental delay, aggressive behavior, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and mild dysmorphic features. CMA revealed a de novo ~87 kb copy-number variant (CNV) duplication at 2q36.
