Muscle weakness marked by grip strength was associated with accelerated biological aging, a new study reports.
Strict parenting and other childhood stresses increase depression risks later in life by altering the way in which DNA is read.
Trauma-exposed veterans with PTSD and comorbid externalizing psychiatric disorders, such as substance abuse or antisocial personality disorder are at greater risk for early death.
Oxidative damage to telomeres can trigger cellular senescence. The findings could lead to the development of new therapeutics for healthy aging and to combat cancers.
A newly developed blood test can measure the pace of biological aging by identifying specific DNA methylation marks.
Microglia showed DNA methylation profiles that were distinct from other cells in the central nervous system.
Combining two natural products that modulate the epigenome, researchers believe they have identified a feasible approach to reversing symptoms of PTSD in animal models that could be effective in humans.
Simple dietary changes and adopting lifestyle alterations, including improved sleep schedules, taking probiotics, and exercising, can reduce signs of biological aging by three years in just eight weeks, a new study reports.
DNA markers in cells of patients with major depressive disorder appear to be two years older than markers in cells of people without the mental health disorder.
Study sheds light on DNA methylation related to sleep deprivation in those with shift-work disorder.
Twin study reveals how we adapt to aging may be genetically influenced. Individual differences in blood DNA methylation are partly heritable later in life and longitudinally across a decade, researchers report.
