Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic clocks, estimated via DNA methylation (DNAm), reflect individuals' biological aging in multiple tissues and are associated with age-related diseases, but their functional role in colorectal cancer (CRC), an age-associated disease, remains unconclusive. DNAm in tumor tissues exclusively exhibits cancerization with expansion of a stem cell pool, leading to the lowest DNAm age; this raises a...
