About this Research Topic
The goal of this research topic is to understand the mechanistic aspects of aging clocks and explore their clinical applications. Aging clocks are composite measures of biological age that capture different aging processes (e. g. cellular senescence) and consequences (e. g. mortality risk) of aging. A better understanding of the biological signals captured by aging clocks will advance the way we understand and measure the causes and consequences of aging and intervene to reverse them.
· Omics clocks and their integration with functional and digital clocks (e. g. epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, multi-omics, blood markers, face clocks, psychological clocks, etc.)
· Anti-aging interventions using aging clocks (e.g. diet, lifestyle, physical activity, geroprotectors)
· Mechanistical studies of aging clocks
