Medical Xpress / How old are you really? Study explains what makes 'epigenetic clocks' tick, debuts new prediction tools

What do "epigenetic clocks" actually measure? These lab tests have become popular tools for studying biological aging, or how the body's cellular function changes at a faster or slower rate than expected. However, the underlying ...
