TLDR
The biomarkers discussed in this issue are generally easier to understand, can be related to relevant functions, and often are the product of concentrated research interest, and thus are often of very immediate interest.

Brain age predicts mortality

TL;DR: This study introduces a clinically-relevant neuroimaging ageing biomarker ‘brain-predicted age’ and demonstrates that combining distinct measurements of biological ageing further helps to determine risk of age-related deterioration and death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Telomere Length in Epidemiology: A Biomarker of Aging, Age-Related Disease, Both, or Neither?

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that shorter LTL is associated with older age, male gender, Caucasian race, and possibly atherosclerosis; associations with other markers of health are equivocal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying and validating biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: It seems likely that only a combined analysis of several biomarkers will define a patient-specific signature to diagnose AD in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling the Rate of Senescence: Can Estimated Biological Age Predict Mortality More Accurately Than Chronological Age?

TL;DR: The Klemera and Doubal method was the most reliable predictor of mortality and performed significantly better than chronological age, when included with chronological age in a model, which caused chronological age to no longer be significantly associated with mortality.

Calorie restriction and aging: review of the literature and implications for studies in humans

TL;DR: The absence of adequate information on the effects of good-quality, calorie-restricted diets in nonobese humans reflects the difficulties involved in conducting long-term studies in an environment so conducive to overfeeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genes that regulate both development and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis of mutations that alter dauer larva formation (daf mutations) is presented along with an updated genetic pathway for dauer vs. nondauer development, which shows the largest genetic extension of life span yet observed in a metazoan.

Handbook of models for human aging

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare models of aging and age-related diseases using animal models and comparative models of different types of aging models, such as aging and aging-related disorders.
