1+ day, 10+ hour ago   (744+ words) For decades, the central obstacle to testing therapies that slow human aging has been painfully simple: aging takes decades to measure. A drug that genuinely delays the biological processes of aging would need years, often a lifetime, of follow-up before…...

Across North America and Europe, companies now sell direct-to-consumer epigenetic tests that estimate a customer’s biological age from DNA methylation patterns, often bundled with supplements and lifestyle programs marketed as capable of slowing or even…...
