Blood-based indicator assesses organ age to predict disease risk

Your Body's Cells and Organs Age at Different Speeds — Some May Signal Alzheimer’s or ALS Risk

Learn how a blood-based aging test connected youthful brain-support cells with lower genetic risk and older muscle cells with ALS years before diagnosis.

Blood-based indicator assesses organ age to predict disease risk

The candles on your birthday cake don't tell the whole story. As anyone who ever attended a high-school reunion can tell you, some people age faster than others.

Blood test estimates biological ages of 11 separate organ systems to predict disease risk years ahead

Cellular Biological Age Test Can Predict Disease Risk and Survival

A research team at the Stanford Medicine-based Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute has developed a blood-based method that can determine the biological age of more than 40 different cell types throughout the body, providing a new way to assess disease risk and longevity years before symptoms emerge. The method, published in Nature Medicine, combines plasma proteomics with machine learning to develop estimates of the biological age of cell types incl…
