"Deciphering the role of immune cell composition in epigenetic age acceleration: Insights from cell-type deconvolution applied to human blood epigenetic clocks," recently published in Aging Cell. The Dartmouth Cancer Center Scientist team led by Ze Zhang, Ph.D., Lucas Salas, MD, MPH, Ph.D., and Brock Christensen, Ph.D., determined how our body's biological age is related to our immune system. The team dove deep into the immune system to learn how different immune cells affect epigenetic clocks to make them more accurate and reliable.
