Genetic Mutations May Directly Influence Epigenetic Clocks and Aging

88

A study published in Nature Aging suggests a direct link between genetic mutations and epigenetic clocks, reshaping current theories on biological aging. Researchers found that DNA mutations influence methylation patterns, potentially driving the aging process. This challenges the idea that epigenetic changes are merely reflections of aging rather than contributors.
