Pinpointing the molecular mechanisms of ageing

Although each and every one of us goes through it, ageing is a poorly understood process. Researchers have used a biomarker called the epigenetic clock to identify a gene that is closely linked to ageing in humans. The study, published in Genome Biology, shows that the epigenetic clock could be a good tool for improving our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind ageing.
