RNA clocks forecast aging and mortality across mammals
TL;DR
Nature News & Views describes Tyshkovskiy et al.’s cross-tissue, cross-species transcriptomic model that estimates chronological age and predicts mortality from RNA data across four mammalian species, revealing universal ageing hallmarks and potentially accelerating anti-ageing interventions.
