Epigenetic clocks comprise a set of CpG sites whose DNA methylation levels measure
subject age. These clocks are acknowledged as a highly accurate molecular correlate of …

As a complicated process, aging is characterized by various changes at the cellular,
subcellular and nuclear levels, one of which is epigenetic aging. With increasing awareness …

All living things experience an increase in entropy, manifested as a loss of genetic and
epigenetic information. In yeast, epigenetic information is lost over time due to the …

Chromatin is a macromolecular complex predominantly comprising DNA, histone proteins
and RNA. The methylation of chromatin components is highly conserved as it helps …

Aging, as a complex process involving multiple cellular and molecular pathways, is known to
be exacerbated by various stresses. Because responses to these stresses, such as oxidative …

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been proposed as a link between the oxidative
stress-inflammation-ageing trinity, thereby affecting several hallmarks of ageing …

Abstract Information storage and retrieval is essential for all life. In biology, information is
primarily stored in two distinct ways: the genome, comprising nucleic acids, acts as a …

Ageing is a complex biological process in which a gradual decline in physiological fitness
increases susceptibility to diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancer …

The aging process results in significant epigenetic changes at all levels of chromatin and
DNA organization. These include reduced global heterochromatin, nucleosome remodeling …

Cancer researchers have traditionally used the mouse and the rat as staple model
organisms. These animals are very short-lived, reproduce rapidly and are highly prone to …
