From Childhood to Old Age: A Novel “LifeClock” Tracks Biological Aging Across Life
Aging is a complex biological process marked by molecular and cellular levels that influence the overall health and risk of disease. Biological age (BA) measures accumulated biological damage rather than the passage of time and serves as a more accurate indicator of health status than chronological age (CA). Recent advances integrating multi-omics, imaging, and electronic […]
