    The "aging clock" can predict the risk of age-related diseases and decreased immune function


    According to the latest research published on the 12th in the British journal Nature Aging, scientists have used artificial intelligence to develop a new “aging clock”-iAge, which provides all human beings with timely detection of increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and other diseases.


    Although the interaction between the immune system and many age-related diseases has been well characterized, there are few immune indicators that can be used to predict who is most at risk


    The goal of the "1000 Immunoomics Project" is to study how the characteristics of chronic inflammation throughout the body change as we age


    The research team used artificial intelligence to develop a new immune index and called this inflammatory "aging clock" iAge


    The researchers also discovered that the chemokine CXCL9 is a protein that usually helps the immune system activate T cells, and its age-related release is also considered a key factor produced by endothelial cells that can accelerate the iAge clock


    Researchers believe that the iAge "clock" provides a new way to discover the risk of age-related diseases and decreased immune function in individuals, and proposed that CXCL9 and other iAge proteins are potential new targets for the treatment of these symptoms
