Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have published results that shed new light on an old ...

The latter, also known as the epigenetic clock theory, has been widely used by scientists as a consistent, quantitative measure of biological aging. However, the new research suggests that the ...

In recent years, scientists and biohackers have sought out ways to "reset" our epigenetic clocks in order to slow down the ...

Typically, biological age is estimated using “epigenetic clocks,” which rely on DNA methylation patterns linked to aging. Standard methods analyze all the cells from a specific tissue at once ...

Diets high in fast food, processed red meat, and sugar-sweetened beverages and low in fruits and vegetables are associated with accelerated biological aging in young adulthood. The clustering effect ...

Humans do not always age biologically at the same rate as their chronological age. Faster biological aging compared to chronological age has been linked to higher risks of disease and mortality.

According to UCSD, there are two prevailing theories about the relationship between aging and our DNA. The somatic mutation theory suggests aging is caused by an accumulation of mutations leading to ...

The clock's position this year was set based on "nuclear weapons threats, the climate crisis, biological threats, and disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence," according to a press ...

Typically, biological age is estimated using “epigenetic clocks,” which rely on DNA methylation patterns—chemical marks linked to aging. Standard methods analyze all the cells from a ...
