DNA methylation data can be used to estimate biological age, but results across commercial tests differ, raising questions ...

Epigenetic clocks provide a molecular framework for assessing biological ovarian age by integrating DNA methylation patterns with hallmarks of reproductive aging. While these clocks show moderate ...

New research in C. elegans from scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) helps explain how changes in the parents’ lysosomes that promote longevity are transferred to their offspring.

Most of us know that our genes determine our traits—but that's only half the story. The field of epigenetics has reshaped how scientists think about gene regulation, revealing layers of control beyond ...

The latest study from the Sharma Lab makes the mechanisms of how epigenetic information is established in sperm cells, and how that encoding affects offspring health, a little less of a scientific ...

Two years of daily multivitamin use was associated with slower biological aging compared with placebo in older adults, ...

Scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic 'marks' in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a ...

It’s important to understand what over-the-counter biological age test kits can — and can’t — do before buying them.
