How old are you really? Counting birthdays may be a common tally, but your “age” isn’t determined by time alone. New research increasingly shows the importance of considering chronological age as ...

Aging clocks can measure the biological age of humans with high precision. Biological age can be influenced by environmental factors such as smoking or diet, thus deviating from the chronological age ...

Clocks coming out of a large clock as a 3D illustration. We age along two clocks: a chronological clock and a biological clock. The former is just a measure of how many birthdays you have celebrated — ...

An analysis of the Framingham Heart Study data found that higher epigenetic aging metrics predicted lower scores on the ...

This review was published by Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), in Volume 16, Issue 17, titled, "A systematic review of phenotypic and epigenetic ...

Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Monash University report that they have developed a new method to measure biological aging in individual cell types. The new tool offers a more ...

Most biochemical reactions accelerate as temperature increases, but our daily circadian rhythms, which are underlain by gene regulatory and biochemical networks, remain constant, even as temperatures ...

A new generation of aging tests is moving out of specialist labs and into everyday life, promising to tell you how old your ...

These clocks provide subscores for different biological systems, allowing users to track specific areas like metabolic, immune, or cardiovascular health. This means that for the first time, consumers, ...

A new study found that women’s biological clocks are actually running faster than men’s — the internal clock that determines when we naturally sleep and wake runs about six minutes faster in women.

Apparently, axolotls are capable of far more than just regenerating lost limbs. In fact, these amphibians appear to be able to stop aging completely, putting a pause on their biological clocks. This ...
