"Revolutionizing Aging: The Impact of Epigenetic Clocks on Measuring Age"
TL;DR
Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed a new DNA clock, called CausAge, DamAge, and AdaptAge, that can more accurately predict biological aging and the effectiveness of anti-aging treatments by distinguishing between genetic factors that accelerate or decelerate the aging process. The clocks are based on DNA methylation, a process closely linked to aging, and were validated using data from large cohorts, showing correlations with health outcomes and longevity. This breakthrough may lead to better quantification of biological age and evaluation of aging interventions.
