Blood plasma tubes
A placebo-controlled clinical trial, with results published in Aging Cell, has determined that plasma replacement has beneficial effects when combined with immunoglobulin, according to multiple epigenetic clocks and -omics biomarkers. Looking for a signal Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), the practice of extracting and replacing a person's blood plasma with a saline solution containing albumin [1],...
Axolotl
In a preprint published in bioRxiv, researchers have published their findings in applying an epigenetic clock to the axolotl, a salamander species that does not age like humans. More than just regeneration Axolotls, and salamanders more generally, are well-known for their regenerative capabilities, being able to grow back lost limbs [1]. These amphibians, similarly to...
DNA hourglass
In Stem Cell Reports, researchers have described how cell subpopulations and division affect the results of epigenetic clocks. Good, but never perfect 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 many different kinds...
Hidden minefield
In Aging Cell, a team of researchers has announced Retroelement-Age, a novel clock that focuses on the expression of buried pieces of DNA that are normally suppressed. Corrupted but unexpressed The natural human genome has a large number of artifacts left over from ancient viral infections along with pieces of DNA that transpose themselves into...
Vegan foods
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...
Choosing a clock
In Nature Aging, researchers have published the creation of a new clock that uses multiple metrics to evaluate biological aging. What's worth measuring? 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 many different...
