Over time, the human DNA methylation landscape accrues substantial damage, which has
been associated with a broad range of age-related diseases, including cardiovascular …

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 …

Identifying and validating molecular targets of interventions that extend the human health
span and lifespan has been difficult, as most clinical biomarkers are not sufficiently …

Age-associated changes to the mammalian DNA methylome are well documented and
thought to promote diseases of aging, such as cancer. Recent studies have identified …

Advanced age is the main common risk factor for cancer, cardiovascular disease and
neurodegeneration. Yet, more is known about the molecular basis of any of these groups of …

Exceptionally long-lived species, including many bats, rarely show overt signs of aging,
making it difficult to determine why species differ in lifespan. Here, we use DNA methylation …

Recent research suggests that epigenetics, especially DNA methylation, plays a mechanistic
role in aging. Epigenetic clocks, which measure changes in a few hundred specific CpG …

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 the gradual decline in organismal fitness that occurs over time leading to tissue
dysfunction and disease. At the cellular level, ageing is associated with reduced function …
