Eleven telomere, epigenetic clock, and biomarker-composite quantifications of biological aging: do they measure the same thing?
The geroscience hypothesis posits that therapies to slow biological processes of aging can
prevent disease and extend healthy years of life. To test such “geroprotective” therapies in …
