Revisiting the genomic hypomethylation hypothesis of aging
24 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
The genomic hypomethylation hypothesis of aging proposes that an overall decrease in global DNA methylation occurs with age, and it has been argued that the decrease in global DNA methylation could be an important factor in aging, resulting in the relaxation of gene expression regulation and abnormal gene expression.
