Accurate aging clocks based on accumulating stochastic variation

Abstract:Aging clocks have provided one of the most significant recent breakthroughs in the biology of aging. Such clocks allow the determination of chronological and increasingly also biological age, which is a prerequisite for assessing the effectiveness of interventions in the aging process and preventive treatments of age-related diseases. The most advanced aging clocks are based on age-dependent changes in DNA methylation pattern. The reproducibility of such changes over the life course has reinvigorated the debat… Show more
