Gene-expression patterns can be used to estimate mortality risk and chronological age - Nature
Researchers have developed a computational model that uses gene-expression patterns across multiple mammalian species to estimate biological age and predict mortality risk. This study, published in Nature, aims to improve the efficiency of testing interventions for extending lifespan and healthspan.
Why it matters
Advancements in predicting biological age through molecular data could significantly accelerate drug discovery and the development of precision medicine for age-related diseases.
