Learn about Horvath clocks, a method developed by David Sinclair and others, that tap into the epigenome and genome to give insight into our biological age. By measuring and averaging ear circumference and subtracting 88.1, Horvath clocks can calculate your biological age.
The genetics that control dog size and lifespan are linked to one of the most well understood longevity pathways. Larger dogs typically have a shorter lifespan due to their specific genes, rather than their overall size.
Systemic signaling, which involves switches and windows in cellular proliferation, is a crucial aspect of aging research to enable tissue rebuilding and cell renewal. The presence of residual pathways such as Fox four kid box genes in cells plays a critical role in cellular defense and repair.
Scientists have discovered that by introducing three early genes in an old mouse brain, it can reset the biological clock and potentially reverse aging in the rest of the body.
The different types of cells in the human body are determined by their gene expression, which means different genes in each cell are turned on and off to create specific proteins that give the cell its unique function and behavior.
The episode provides tips on how to stay warm in cold temperatures and discusses the possible technological advancements in fitness through smartwatches and smartphones.
