Midlife growth hormone receptor removal is the focus of a research article that readers will open to learn what type of lifespan and liver single-cell biology study they’ll find, with attention to sex-specific transcriptional analyses.

Midlife Growth Hormone Receptor Ablation Extends Healthy Lifespan and Induces Sex‐Specific Hepatic Transcriptional Changes at Single‐Cell Resolution
Key Takeaways
  • Midlife ablation of the growth hormone receptor extended healthy lifespan in the studied model organisms.
  • Single-cell liver transcriptomics revealed distinct sex-specific gene-expression changes after receptor ablation.
  • Transcriptional shifts implicated metabolic and stress-response pathways as affected by growth hormone receptor loss.
