Blood Proteins May Reveal Two Critical Windows for Frailty Around Ages 50 and 63
A study of over 50,000 UK Biobank participants found 1,339 blood proteins linked to frailty. Researchers built a "proteomic frailty score" that predicted risk for 199 diseases and responded to 84 modi...
This study suggests frailty-related changes may accelerate around ages 50 and 63, making those periods worth monitoring closely.
How Mutant Blood Stem Cells May Quietly Fuel Heart Disease as You Age
As people age, blood stem cells accumulate mutations that cause certain cell lines to expand. This process, called clonal hematopoiesis, is now strongly linked to increased cardiovascular risk in olde...
This review highlights that age-related blood cell mutations may be an underappreciated driver of heart disease risk.
Red Blood Cell Proteins Can Track Biological Aging and Predict Health a Decade Later
Researchers built a protein-based aging clock from the red blood cells of over 13,000 blood donors. People with conditions like G6PD deficiency and sickle cell trait showed accelerated molecular aging...
This study suggests red blood cell proteins could serve as accessible markers of biological aging.
