- 1Clonal Hematopoiesis Emerging as Biomarker of Biological Aging▼Clonal Hematopoiesis and Biological Aging: An Emerging Biomarker for Longevity Medicine
A new paper in Cureus examines clonal hematopoiesis—the age-related expansion of mutated blood stem cells—as a potential biomarker of biological aging. The authors argue that measuring these mutations could help longevity medicine assess disease risk and aging pace beyond chronological age, though the research is still at an early, mostly observational stage.
