Biological age — a measure of age-related molecular and cellular damage — can be a biomarker of age-related diseases and can differ between organs. Using plasma proteomic, chronological age, and mortality data from more than 50,000 UK Biobank participants, Ludger Goeminne, Vadim Gladyshev, and colleagues have built organ-specific aging models. The models identified protein signatures that indicated accelerated aging and predicted disease in specific organs such as the heart and kidney. The findings, in Cell Metabolism, suggest that accelerated aging in specific organs contributes to chronic age-related diseases in those organs. #BroadInstitute #Science #ScienceNews #Research #ScientificResearch
