Recently, scientists have turned their attention to how epigenetics — changes in gene expression that happen without altering DNA — affect the aging process.

Researchers studying nearly 900 domestic dogs developed an epigenetic clock that predicted mortality and showed that ...

The extraordinary lifespan variation in domestic dogs provides a natural experiment for testing how intrinsic rates of biological aging shape lifespan. Using 1640 methylomes from 894 dogs, we ...

A new data-driven dietary index built around epigenetic aging clocks is associated with nearly four years slower biological ...

Scientists have turned blood cells from an 80-year-old into neural stem cells with a molecular age of less than 20, ...

Scientists have long suspected that aging leaves chemical fingerprints on the DNA packaging inside our cells. Now a team at ...

A new study that tracked dogs' aging by reading tiny chemical tags on their DNA found that larger dogs aged more quickly.

The development of Alzheimer's disease may involve not only the genes themselves but also 'DNA methylation (epigenetics)' as ...

A study by DZNE finds that healthy eating is associated with slower biological aging—and that there is more than one way to ...

Epigenetic reprogramming is rewriting what we thought we knew about permanent vision loss.

Researchers reprogrammed an 80-year-old's blood cells to an epigenetic age below 20, creating a lab model for studying age-related brain disease.
