It has been a long standing goal to develop molecular biomarkers of biological age. Recent studies demonstrate that powerful epigenetic biomarkers of aging can be defined based on DNA methylation levels. For example, the epigenetic clock (PMID: 24138928) is a multivariate age estimation method that applies to sorted cell types (CD4T cells or neurons), complexContinue reading “Contributing factors to aging”

Aging with grace in smart and healthy world but with climate change
Yes, our world is getting smarter and healthier. We are more educated and knowledgeable about the things around us. We are especially more equip to deal with aging if we can be proactive about our health and know our genetic makeup. We know that our wealth can be affected by our health. So, be healthy,Continue reading “Aging with grace in smart and healthy world but with climate change”
GWS study identifies a single major locus contributing to survival into old age – the APOE locus
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a class of apolipoprotein found in the chylomicron and Intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDLs) that is essential for the normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents.[4] In peripheral tissues, APOE is primarily produced by the liver and macrophages, and mediates cholesterol metabolism in an isoform-dependent manner. In the central nervous system, APOE is mainlyContinue reading “GWS study identifies a single major locus contributing to survival into old age – the APOE locus”
Exome and whole genome sequencing in aging and longevity, an ebook
Calendar age is the major risk factor for common disease. It is therefore expected that understanding the aging process will eventually lead to promotion of better health conditions in elderly populations. Such insight may be obtained by identifying the genetic determinants of familial and exceptional longevity and age-related disease. Research of these determinants has beenContinue reading “Exome and whole genome sequencing in aging and longevity, an ebook”
