This study compares traditional risk factors and epigenetic clocks in predicting non-communicable disease morbidity and finds traditional factors perform better in a middle-aged cohort.

The paper compares biological age indicators across different blood cell types and finds cell type-specific associations with calendar age.

This paper reviews contradictions in nc886/VTRNA2-1 methylation and RNA function, reanalyzes existing data, and presents new findings on population geography and tumor methylation patterns.

The paper examines nc886 methylation across populations and tissues, finding stable levels except in specific tissues and some discordance in dizygotic twins.

The paper examines nc886 methylation patterns across mammals, finding non-conserved imprinting and methylation status, suggesting limited use of animal models for nc886 research.
