Effect of metformin on the epigenetic age of peripheral blood in patients with diabetes mellitus
Background: Metformin has been proven to have an antiaging effect. However, studies on how metformin affects global epigenetic regulation and its effect on the epigenetic clock in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients are limited.

Exploring the Relationship of Relative Telomere Length and the Epigenetic Clock in the LipidCardio Cohort [PDF]
Telomere length has been accepted widely as a biomarker of aging. Recently, a novel candidate biomarker has been suggested to predict an individual’s chronological age with high accuracy: The epigenetic clock is based on the weighted DNA methylation ...

The Circadian Clock, the Immune System, and Viral Infections: The Intricate Relationship Between Biological Time and Host-Virus Interaction [PDF]
Living beings spend their lives and carry out their daily activities interacting with environmental situations that present space-time variations and that involve contact with other life forms, which may behave as commensals or as invaders and/or ...

Age prediction of green turtles with an epigenetic clock
Age is a fundamental life history attribute that is used to understand the dynamics of wild animal populations. Unfortunately, most animals do not have a practical or nonlethal method to determine age.

Epigenetic clock and methylation studies in the rhesus macaque. [PDF]
AbstractMethylation levels at specific CpG positions in the genome have been used to develop accurate estimators of chronological age in humans, mice, and other species. Although epigenetic clocks are generally species-specific, the principles underpinning them appear to be conserved at least across the mammalian class.

Accelerated epigenetic aging in Werner syndrome. [PDF]
Individuals suffering from Werner syndrome (WS) exhibit many clinical signs of accelerated aging. While the underlying constitutional mutation leads to accelerated rates of DNA damage, it is not yet known whether WS is also associated with an increased ...

Epigenetic clock and methylation studies in vervet monkeys. [PDF]
ABSTRACTDNA methylation-based biomarkers of aging have been developed for many mammals but not yet for the vervet monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus), which is a valuable non-human primate model for biomedical studies. We generated novel DNA methylation data from vervet cerebral cortex, blood, and liver using highly conserved mammalian CpGs represented on a ...

Epigenetic Clock Acceleration Is Linked to Age at Onset of Parkinson's Disease
Aging is the strongest risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), which is a clinically heterogeneous movement disorder with highly variable age at onset. DNA methylation age (DNAm age) is an epigenetic clock that could reflect biological aging.

Centenarian clocks: epigenetic clocks for validating claims of exceptional longevity
Abstract Claims surrounding exceptional longevity are sometimes disputed or dismissed for lack of credible evidence. Here, we present three DNA methylation-based age estimators (epigenetic clocks) for verifying age claims of centenarians. The three centenarian clocks were developed based on n = 7039 blood and saliva samples from individuals older than ...
