Single-Cell Analyses Reveal Dysregulation of Ribosomal Protein Genes During Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Aging.
Article in Advanced biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) sustain lifelong blood production, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying their functional decline with age remain incompletely understood. Understanding how aging alters the transcriptomic landscape of HSPCs is critical to uncovering the origins of immune system aging. We performed a comprehensive single-cell RNA sequencing analysis integrating over 300,000 bone marrow-derived HSPCs from 50 healthy individuals spanning 19 to 84 years of age. Aging was associated with immune lineage skewing, marked by increased myeloid and decreased lymphoid output in both bone marrow and peripheral blood. Subtle increases in HSCs, MEPs, and myeloid progenitors alongside reductions in lymphoid progenitors were already evident in aged bone marrow, suggesting that lineage bias is encoded at the progenitor level. Age-associated transcriptional changes included extensive upregulation of ribosomal genes encoding small (RPS11, RPS12, RPS23) and large (RPL9, RPL19, RPL24) cytoplasmic ribosomal subunit proteins, as well as pro-inflammatory mediators (IL1B, IL18, TGFB1, S100A8). Enrichment analysis identified mitochondrial function, ribosome biogenesis, chromatin remodeling, and inflammatory signaling as key ontologies disrupted during HSPC aging. Our study identifies molecular signatures of systemic aging rooted in bone marrow HSPCs and suggests that dysregulated ribosomal protein gene expression is an under-appreciated hallmark of hematopoietic stem cell aging.
