Transcriptomics analysis for the identification of potential age-related genes and cells associated with three major urogenital cancers

Abstract Age is one of the most important risk factors of the occurrence for tumor patients. The majority of patients with urogenital cancers are the elderly, whose clinical characteristics are greatly affected by age and ageing. Our study aimed to explore age-related genes, cells, and biological ch...
