Over time, the human DNA methylation landscape accrues substantial damage, which has
been associated with a broad range of age-related diseases, including cardiovascular …

Epigenetic clocks comprise a set of CpG sites whose DNA methylation levels measure
subject age. These clocks are acknowledged as a highly accurate molecular correlate of …

Remarkable progress in ageing research has been achieved over the past decades.
General perceptions and experimental evidence pinpoint that the decline of physical …

Cells differentiate and progress through development guided by a dynamic chromatin
landscape that mediates gene expression programmes. During development, mammalian …

DNA methylation data have become a valuable source of information for biomarker

Chromatin is a macromolecular complex predominantly comprising DNA, histone proteins
and RNA. The methylation of chromatin components is highly conserved as it helps …

Ageing is inherent to all human beings, yet why we age remains a hotly contested topic.
Most mechanistic explanations of ageing posit that ageing is caused by the accumulation of …

As a complicated process, aging is characterized by various changes at the cellular,
subcellular and nuclear levels, one of which is epigenetic aging. With increasing awareness …
