Feb. 14, 2019When you ask someone to say how old they are, they make a calculation — subtracting the year they were born from the present day. But when biologists look to see how old someone’s body actually is, they turn to tiny internal clocks that can illuminate clues about aging and health.Researchers at Harvard have identified a new ribosomal DNA (rDNA) clock, or a biological clock, that reveals accurate insight into how the body ages, and how humans can intervene to slow it down.
