The epigenome—the chemical modifications and chromatin-related packaging of the genome—enables the same genetic template to be activated or repressed in different …
DNA methylation clocks can accurately estimate chronological age and, to some extent, also biological age, yet the process by which age-associated DNA methylation (DNAm) changes …

Senolytics, small molecules targeting cellular senescence, have emerged as potential therapeutics to enhance health span. However, their impact on epigenetic age remains …
Defining the number and abundance of different cell types in tissues is important for understanding disease mechanisms as well as for diagnostic and prognostic purposes …
Background Geroscience focuses on interventions to mitigate molecular changes associated with aging. Lifestyle modifications, medications, and social factors influence the …

The cumulative number of stem cell divisions in a tissue, known as mitotic age, is thought to be a major determinant of cancer-risk. Somatic mutational and DNA methylation (DNAm) …
The ability to accurately quantify biological age could help monitor and control healthy aging. Epigenetic clocks have emerged as promising tools for estimating biological age, yet …
Background DNA methylation (DNAm), an epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene activity in response to genetic and environmental influences, changes as we age. DNAm at …
