Have you ever wondered why aging seems to affect people differently? Is it all written in our genes, or do our daily choices play a pivotal role? As we journey through life, we experience two types of aging: chronological and cellular or biological. While chronological aging counts the years we’ve lived, biological aging reveals a deeper story of our cells and how they are aging. The question then arises: what really drives the process of cellular aging and is there anything we can do to impact it? Join a LinkedIn Live science talk: “Age is more than just a number – the impact of lifestyle on cellular aging” on Thursday, June 13th, at 4 PM CET / 10 AM ET to explore what we can learn from the current state of science on aging and longevity.

Excited to share groundbreaking research on aging! Scientists have developed Ageome, a computational framework that measures the epigenetic age of thousands of molecular pathways simultaneously in mice and humans. Unlike traditional aging clocks that offer a single age estimate, Ageome provides a high-dimensional view of aging across various cellular functions. This innovative approach reveals that different organs and systems age at different rates. By pinpointing which pathways are aging more rapidly, Ageome directly relates to organ aging, enabling targeted interventions to slow down aging in specific organs, improve their function, and enhance overall longevity. Notably, the study found that while cellular reprogramming can rejuvenate cells, it may also accelerate aging in some functional modules—highlighting the complexity of the aging process. In human cohorts, Ageome outperformed existing aging clocks in predicting the onset of age-related diseases, particularly cancer, across different pathways. This could revolutionize how we approach aging and develop personalized anti-aging strategies. Understanding the differential aging rates of organs opens the door to more effective treatments and healthier, longer lives.
