IDEAL-Age: an interpretable deep learning framework for single-cell resolution profiling of immunological aging.
Interpretable AI model identifies which immune cells age fastest, advancing understanding of aging and immunotherapy responsiveness.
IDEAL-Age is an interpretable deep learning model that profiles immunological aging at single-cell resolution, trained and validated on multi-cohort human immune data. The framework identifies which immune cell types and gene programs are most affected by aging, providing both predictive accuracy and biological interpretability relevant to longevity and immunosenescence research.
