Lung disease is associated with epigenetic age acceleration-prospective study
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disorder whereby airways in the lungs become swollen and partly blocked which makes breathing difficult. These are several causes for COPD
HKG Epitherapeutics has achieved compliance with the federally mandated standards of the HIPAA
HKG Epitherapeutics is pleased to announce that it has achieved compliance with the federally mandated standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) through the use of Compliancy
Epigenetic clock test suggests that it is possible to reverse aging with a special intervention
What is the epigenetic clock? According to Wiki “An epigenetic clock is a biochemical test that can be used to measure age. The test is based on DNA methylation levels.”
Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling identifies two novel genes in cervical neoplasia
HKG Epitherapeutics co-authored the scientific study aimed to identify DNA methylation markers along the continuum of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) to cervical cancer. This work is a successful collaboration between HKG Epitherapeutics and the laboratory of Prof. Eduardo
DNA molecule can hide the secret of lifespan!
Different species have different lifespans. For example, a dwarf goby fish (Eviota sigillata) lives only eight weeks, the Greenland shark lives in contrast for 400 years. Forest shrew lives about
Does physical activity extend your lifespan?
Scientists have already discovered how to determine your organic, biological age but how will this knowledge aid and better educate us? An ever-growing database of evidence is linking our quality
Epigenetic clock measures biological age in children
The epigenetic clock emerged from the lab into the commercial space. Epigenetic clock tests are already available commercially. However, development of biological markers of aging were primarily based on adult
What does disease smell like?
Greek physician Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.) asked students to sniff the air that their patients exhaled to diagnose the disease. Sweet breath, for example, could be a sign of diabetes. Twenty-four
Can aging be reversed?
Very promising results were published in bioRxiv, demonstrating the proof of principle of age reversibility through epigenetics an particularly DNA methylation changes. Epigenetics has a tremendous potential for resetting the
The skull of the oldest species of Australopithecus found!
Scientists discovered an almost complete skull of the Australopithecus anamensis, who lived 3.8 million years ago in Northeast Ethiopia. Thanks to this finding, the experts established that Australopithecus anamensis and

Epigenetic age in the mouse?
Why do we need to know how do mice age? The mouse is an excellent model for studying not only human diseases but also the effect of the environment on
