Epigenetic clock analysis of cellular senescence According to a molecular biomarker of aging known as epigenetic clock,[14] the three major types of cellular senescence, namely replicative senescence, oncogene-induced senescence and DNA damage-induced senescence are distinct because induction of replicative senescence (RS) and oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) were found to be accompanied by epigenetic aging of primaryContinue reading “Pursuing longevity: Epigenetic clock and cellular senescence”

Epigenetic Clock Marks Age of Human Tissues and Cells
By Carol Torgan, Ph.D. The age of many human tissues and cells is reflected in chemical changes to DNA. The finding provides insights for cancer, aging, and stem cell research. We may gauge how we’re aging based on visible changes, such as wrinkles. For years, scientists have been trying to gauge aging based on changesContinue reading “Epigenetic Clock Marks Age of Human Tissues and Cells”
