"The fact that our epigenetic clock trained on cheek cells predicts mortality when measuring the methylome in blood cells suggests there are common mortality signals across tissues," said Shokhirev.

Now, a group of scientists in the US has created a new version of this clock called CheekAge, which uses cells from the ...

A simple cheek swab test called CheekAge may be able to predict a person's increase in mortality risk, according to its ...

Researchers have developed an epigenetic clock called CheekAge which can work out biological age - as opposed to a person’s ...

Researchers developed CheekAge, an epigenetic clock based on buccal cells, and found it predicted mortality risk with ...

Now, in the journal Frontiers in Aging, the team has shown for the first time that CheekAge can accurately predict the risk ...

A new test using easy-to-collect cells from the inside of the cheek can predict a person’s risk of death within the coming 12 months, scientists say.
