Longest Aging Clock Study to Date Shows Robust Improvement in Mortality Risk Prediction

A new study provides evidence that using aging clocks based on molecular tagging patterns on DNA (epigenetic aging clocks) to take multiple age readings across time outperforms taking single measurements in predicting mortality.

What Is Mosaic Aging? How Organs Age at Different Rates

A new framework proposes that the patchwork nature of aging, where different organs deteriorate at different speeds, may hold the key to understanding the ultimate cause of death.

(University of Glasgow logo | Scotland.org)

A new framework proposes that aging occurs unevenly in cells, tissues, and organs, and that targeting the fastest-aging tissues may extend lifespan.
