We investigate the diffusion-aggregation equations with degenerate diffusion $ \Delta u^m $ and singular interaction kernel $ \mathcal{K}_s = (-\Delta)^{-s} $ with $ s\in(0,\frac{d}{2}) $. The equation is related to biological aggregation models. We analyze the regime where the diffusive force is stronger than the aggregation effect. In such regime, we show the existence and uniform boundedness of solutions in the case either $ s>\frac{1}{2} $ or $ m<2 $. Hölder regularity is obtained when $ d\geq3, s>1/2 $ and uniqueness is proved when $ s\geq 1 $.

Keywords: Aggregation equation, degenerate diffusion, a priori estimates, uniform boundedness, singular integral.
