"The Role of Immune Cells in Biological Aging"

Scientists are using epigenetic clocks to measure biological age, a true marker of health, but the role of the immune system in this process is not fully understood. A new study by Dartmouth Cancer Center scientists reveals how different immune cells affect epigenetic clocks, shedding light on the relationship between immune cell composition and biological age. This research has significant implications for aging insights, health interventions, and targeted cancer treatments, potentially revolutionizing precision medicine and cancer treatment.
