- A multinational team of researchers has developed a powerful molecular clock that can predict age and death risk in mammals using biological markers, as reported by Science X.
- This innovative clock identifies universal aging markers in genes that behave similarly across various species.
- The development involved analyzing over 11,000 samples from mice, rats, macaques, and humans to establish these universal markers.
- According to Science X, these universal aging markers behave almost identically across mammals as they age, regardless of the specific species.
- The research, published in Nature, offers significant potential for new insights into the aging process and age-related diseases.
- This molecular clock can also detect chronic diseases and measure indicators of rejuvenation or healthy aging, making it a promising tool for identifying longevity treatments.
