How old are you—biologically? 🧬 New @USC Leonard Davis School research reveals what epigenetic clocks actually measure and introduces new tools to predict age-related disease and mortality. “Aging isn’t just about the number of candles on your birthday cake — it’s also about what’s happening inside your cells,” says lead author T. Em Arpawong, research associate professor of gerontology at USC Leonard Davis. Read more: today.usc.edu/how-old-are-yo…
