New Biological Clock Offers Insights into Aging and Mortality Prediction
Researchers have developed a new biological clock, known as a transcriptomic clock, which analyzes RNA molecules to predict aging and mortality. This clock provides a signature of aging by examining gene activity changes over time. The study, which included data from mice, rats, macaques, and humans, revealed conserved aging signatures across species. The clock can potentially be used to assess the impact of lifestyle changes or drugs on biological aging, offering a tool for early intervention assessments. While it does not replace clinical trials, it provides a framework for understanding aging processes and mortality regulation across different species and tissues.
