Abstract
The characterisation of T cells during aging is important to predict functional outcomes in vaccination or infection. Here the authors use flow cytometry and scRNA sequencing to transcriptionally age CD8 T cells and then use a machine learning model to interpret cell age from transcriptional profiles.
