Full Article

A modern epigenetic testing protocol can reveal more than chronological age. By examining chemical markers that regulate gene activity, it estimates how quickly tissues may be aging. The challenge is that methylation data contain technical noise, biological variability, and thousands of interconnected signals. Machine learning helps separate meaningful aging patterns from irrelevant variation, producing more accurate and clinically useful estimates without reducing aging to a
