How Scientists Are Measuring Aging at the Cellular Level
“We illustrate our strategy in brain and liver tissue, demonstrating how cell-type specific epigenetic clocks from these tissues can improve tissue-specific estimation of chronological and biological age.” Aging affects everyone differently. There are two types of aging: chronological aging, which refers to the number of years a person has lived, and biological aging, which reflects how well the body is functioning based on cellular changes. A recent study published as the cover for Volume 16, Issue 22 of Aging reports a new discovery that could revolutionize the way we understand aging and…
