A new study co-authored by Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray demonstrates a simple way of studying organ aging by analyzing distinct proteins in blood, enabling the prediction of individuals’ risk for diseases. Image Knight Initiative news | Dec 6 2023 Scientific American Your Organs Might Be Aging at Different Rates It turns out that your chronological age really is just a number. What’s more important for knowing disease risk is the biological age of each of your organs.
