A paper in Cell Genomics has described how age-related systemic inflammation (inflammaging) is related to epigenetic aging as measured by four established clocks. Tying together two well-known aspects of aging Chronic InflammationChronic inflammation refers to a persistent, low-grade buzz of immune activity that settles into the body without the drama of an infection or obvious...

In a study that involved pairs of identical twins, Stanford scientists have shown that a healthy vegan diet leads to a decrease in biological age and possibly to other health benefits [1]. Do you really live longer if you eat well? A good diet can do wonders for health, but it is still unclear if...

Researchers have published the results of a study in Aging Cell, finding some evidence that type 2 diabetes causes accelerated aging. Later-generation clocks only What Are Epigenetic ClocksAn epigenetic clock is a biochemical test that uses DNA methylation levels and accumulation of methyl groups on DNA to determine biological age. There are many different kinds...

A preprint published in bioRxiv has demonstrated that the second-generation aging clocks PhenoAge, DunedinPACE, and GrimAge show increased but reversible age acceleration in mice and people exposed to significant stress. What clocks are for What Are Epigenetic ClocksAn epigenetic clock is a biochemical test that uses DNA methylation levels and accumulation of methyl groups on...
