Cross-tissue comparison of epigenetic aging clocks in humans.

Epigenetic clocks are a common group of tools used to measure biological aging-the progressive deterioration of cells, tissues, and organs. Epigenetic clocks have been trained almost exclusively using blood-based tissues, but there is growing interest in estimating epigenetic age using less-invasive oral-based tissues (i.e.

An expert consensus statement on biomarkers of ageing for use in intervention studies.

Biomarkers of ageing serve as important outcome measures in longevity-promoting interventions. However, there is limited consensus on which specific biomarkers are most appropriate for human intervention studies. This work aimed to address this need by establishing an expert consensus on biomarkers of ageing for use in intervention studies via the Delphi method.

Applications of Nanotechnology for Spatial Omics: Biological Structures and Functions at Nanoscale Resolution.

Spatial omics methods are extensions of traditional histological methods that can illuminate important biomedical mechanisms of physiology and disease by examining the distribution of biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites, at microscale resolution within tissues or individual cells. Since, for some applications, the desired resolution for spatial omics approaches the nanometer scale, classical tools have inherent limitations when applied to spatial omics analyses, and they can measure only a limited number of targets. Nanotechnology applications have been instrumental in overcoming these bottlenecks.

Parental age at birth, telomere length, and autism spectrum disorders in the UK Biobank cohort.

Older parental age at birth is associated with increased risk of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in offspring. Independently, shorter telomere length (TL) has also been shown to be associated with ASD in children. However, older paternal age at birth, with or without controlling for maternal age, has been associated with longer TL, a seemingly contradictory finding.
