Back to the future: Epigenetic clock plasticity towards healthy aging
: Aging is the most important risk factor for major human lifestyle diseases, including cancer, neurological and cardiometabolic disorders. Due to the complex interplay between genetics, lifestyle and environmental factors, some individuals seem to age ...

Perfect timing: Epigenetic regulation of the circadian clock [PDF]
In mammals, higher order chromatin structures are critical for downsizing the genome (packaging) so that the nucleus can be small. The adjustable density of chromatin also regulates gene expression, thus this post-genetic molecular mechanism is one of ...

Epigenetic Clock and Circadian Rhythms in Stem Cell Aging and Rejuvenation
This review summarizes the current understanding of the interaction between circadian rhythms of gene expression and epigenetic clocks characterized by the specific profile of DNA methylation in CpG-islands which mirror the senescence of all somatic ...

Epigenetic clock and methylation study of oocytes from a bovine model of reproductive aging
Cattle are an attractive animal model of fertility in women due to their high degree of similarity relative to follicle selection, embryo cleavage, blastocyst formation, and gestation length.

On the epigenetic ageing clock in humans
Epigenetic clocks are mathematical models that predict the biological age of an organism using DNA methylation data, and which have emerged in the last few years as the most accurate biomarkers of the ageing process.

Aging, Rejuvenation, and Epigenetic Reprogramming: Resetting the Aging Clock
The underlying cause of aging remains one of the central mysteries of biology. Recent studies in several different systems suggest that not only may the rate of aging be modified by environmental and genetic factors, but also that the aging clock can be ...

Epigenetic Clocks and Programmatic Aging
The last decade has seen remarkable progress in the characterization of methylation clocks that track biological age in humans and many other mammalian species. While the biological processes of aging that underlie these clocks have remained unclear, several clues have pointed to a link to developmental mechanisms.

An evolutionary epigenetic clock in plants
Molecular clocks are the basis for dating the divergence between lineages over macroevolutionary timescales (~10 5 to 10 8 years). However, classical DNA-based clocks tick too slowly to inform us about the recent past.

Epigenetic models developed for plains zebras predict age in domestic horses and endangered equids
Larison et al. report epigenetic aging models in plains zebras (Equus quagga) using the epigenetic clock and epigenetic pacemaker approaches. Their epigenetic clock allows age to be accurately estimated in endangered sister species, and the pacemaker ...
