Announcement: Special Collection of Dr. Steve Horvath Publications in Aging

Listen to a blog summary of the announcement for a special collection of Steve Horvath research papers published by Aging (Aging-US). ____________________ Epigenetics is the study of gene expression and the changes that occur which do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence. These changes can occur as a result of environmental influences, including exposure to chemicals, diet and stress. Epigenetic modifications can be passed down through generations and play an important role in disease development. An exciting area of epigenetics research is its role in the aging process. Studies have shown that epigenetic modifications can affect aging and the onset of age-related diseases. Recently, researchers also discovered that epigenetic modifications may be used to measure biological age and aging rate. Steve Horvath, Ph.D., ScD is a world-renowned researcher, geneticist, biostatistician, and Professor of Human Genetics and Biostatistics at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research areas of study include aging, cancer, cardiovascular disease, HIV, Huntington’s disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Today, he is well-known for his contributions in epigenetics research. In 2013, Dr. Horvath developed the first multi-tissue DNA methylation-based epigenetic biomarker of aging, known as the Horvath aging clock. Dr. Horvath earned numerous awards for his groundbreaking research, including the Allen Distinguished Investigator award, the Open Philanthropy Project award and the Schober Award. In 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, the Clarivate Web of Science Group named him as one of the world’s most influential scientific researchers.

Topics in Aging-US go beyond traditional gerontology, including, but not limited to, cellular and molecular biology, human age-related diseases, pathology in model organisms, signal transduction pathways (e.g., p53, sirtuins, and PI-3K/AKT/mTOR, among others), and approaches to modulating these signaling pathways.
