Studi kaitkan sel darah manusia dengan nenek moyang berusia 700 juta tahun

Para peneliti di Kyoto University telah melacak asal-usul sel darah manusia hingga ke organisme bersel satu yang hidup sekitar 700 juta tahun lalu. Analisis mereka menunjukkan bahwa sel kekebalan tubuh modern mencerminkan jalur evolusi kuno yang bermula sejak kemunculan hewan multiseluler.

Tim tersebut mengembangkan metode baru untuk membandingkan ekspresi gen di berbagai jenis sel dan spesies. Pendekatan ini memungkinkan mereka untuk menyusun pohon evolusi bagi garis keturunan sel darah dan mengidentifikasi kemiripan dengan organisme uniseluler. Makrofag menunjukkan hubungan paling erat dengan nenek moyang awal ini, yang menunjukkan bahwa mereka mewakili bentuk sel darah tertua.

A review in the journal Aging (Aging-US) says senescent cells—often dubbed “zombie cells”—can contribute to wound healing and tissue stability in some settings, even as other senescent cells promote inflammation and age-related disease.

Researchers at UCLA have identified senescent immune cells, dubbed 'zombie' cells, that accumulate in aging livers and contribute to fatty liver disease. By eliminating these cells in mice, the team reversed liver damage and reduced body weight, even on an unhealthy diet. The findings, published in Nature Aging, suggest similar mechanisms may drive human liver conditions.

Researchers in Sweden have created insulin-producing cells from human stem cells that reversed diabetes symptoms when transplanted into mice. The cells matured after placement in the eye and maintained glucose regulation for months. The work was published in Stem Cell Reports.

Genetic analysis of remains from a megalithic tomb near Bury, 50 kilometers north of Paris, reveals a complete population turnover around 3000 BC. The earlier group shared genetics with northern European farmers, while newcomers arrived from southern France and the Iberian Peninsula. Researchers link the shift to disease, environmental stress, and social changes.

Researchers have analyzed mitochondrial DNA from eight Neanderthal teeth found in Stajnia Cave in Poland, reconstructing the genetic profile of a small group that lived there around 100,000 years ago. The study, published in Current Biology, marks the first such multi-individual genetic picture from a single site north of the Carpathians. The findings show genetic links to Neanderthals across Europe and the Caucasus.
