Further progress in the development of epigenetic biomarkers for age prediction: we found individual CpG sites that are strongly associated with age and life expectancy and which are hypomethylated upon aging

There is a growing interest in simple molecular biomarkers for biological aging. Age-associated DNA methylation (DNAm) changes at specific CG dinucleotides can be combined into epigenetic age predictors to estimate chronological age—and the deviation of chronological and predicted age (∆age) seems t...

is a disease of premature aging and is associated with impaired maintenance and with clinical
features of premature aging. So far, diagnosis of relies particularly on telomere length measurements, but not all patients reveal significant telomere attrition raising the need for additional biomarkers.

Our latest is associated with aberrant DNA-methylation in PRDM8. Along with traditional methods it enables the identification of patients with normal telomere length.

DNA methylation in PRDM8 is indicative for dyskeratosis congenita

Our epigenetic age predictors based on 99 CpGs, 3 CpGs, or individual CpGs correlate with all-cause mortality.

We offer two new biomarkers to classify human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs):
- Epi-MSC-Score
- Epi-Tissue-Score

DNA methylation profiles (generated on Illumina HumanMethylation BeadChips 27K or 450K) were stratified by cell type (MSCs versus fibroblasts), tissue source (here particularly MSCs from bone marrow versus adipose tissue), passage (P5), age (40 years), and serum supplements in cultur…

Do you really have iPS cells? Confirm pluripotency with our Epi-Pluri-Score

Quality control of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be performed by several methods. These methods are usually relatively labor-intensive, difficult to standardize, or they do not facilitate reliable quantification.
