DNA methylation patterns could predict human age
51:45 - 56:00 (04:15)
Researchers have been able to identify human age with 96% accuracy within four years by analyzing DNA methylation patterns from blood cells. The patterns change as we age due to factors such as inflammation and oxidative stress.

A study was conducted on male mice which were fed a high inflammatory diet, where it was found that this diet could alter the expression of genes, without changing any nucleotide.

Summary
A study was conducted on male mice which were fed a high inflammatory diet, where it was found that this diet could alter the expression of genes, without changing any nucleotide. The study revealed that the diet turned off a gene that contributes to the production of insulin in pancreatic islet cells in the sperm DNA of fathers.

Summary
Methylation patterns in blood cells can accurately identify a person's age with 96% accuracy within four years. Additionally, cancer cells exhibit methylation patterns that suggest they age 40% faster than healthy cells.
