Clock in hand
Researchers publishing in PNAS have found that well-known epigenetic clocks are valuable in predicting health outcomes, including mortality, in human beings. The usefulness of clocks Epigenetic Clocks - What are they?An epigenetic clock is a biochemical test that uses DNA methylation levels and accumulation of methyl groups on DNA to determine biological age. There are...
Handful of organs
In Nature, a team has published its research on using protein analysis to estimate the aging of specific organs. Aging is not all at once While the processes of aging affect every organ of every person, the rates at which these processes affect these organs can vary greatly in people [1] and mice [2]. Similar,...
Ancient clock
An accepted manuscript in the Journals of Gerontology has described how a third-generation epigenetic clock is a predictor  of future frailty. Are epigenetic and physiological metrics connected? This paper begins with an examination of two different methods of measuring aging processes. The first is the well-known epigenetic clocks, and this paper lists several, including the...
Clockworks
Assisted by TruDiagnostic, a team of researchers has published a preprint paper in which -omics data has been used to create an epigenetic methylation clock. Why -omics? Epigenetic Clocks - What are they?An epigenetic clock is a biochemical test that uses DNA methylation levels and accumulation of methyl groups on DNA to determine biological age....
Foreground Clock
Publishing in Aging, the Conboy research lab has outlined the problems with existing machine learning-based clocks and created a new clock based on epigenetic noise. The problem with linear regression This paper begins with a description of the elastic net, an artificial intelligence algorithm that powers the majority of biological clocks, including the Horvath biological...
Full Biomarkers
The Biomarkers of Aging Consortium, an initiative uniting about 200 geroscientists around the goal to inform and guide the use of biomarkers of aging, has put out its first paper [1]. The need for biomarkers Since studies with lifespan as their endpoint can take a prohibitively long time, especially in humans, the importance of reliable...
