In recent years, DNA methylation-based epigenetic clocks have emerged as some of the most robust biomarkers for estimating biological age. Initial research clocks, such as those developed by Horvath and Hannum, provided highly accurate chronological age predictions. Subsequent models, including PhenoAge, GrimAge, and DunedinPACE, improved upon this by incorporating health-related variables and functional measures, expanding their relevance to disease risk and pace of aging. Importantly, these multi-CpG clocks have demonstrated strong predictive accuracy, but their reliance on large numbers of CpG sites and high-throughput technologies limits their clinical scalability due to cost, complexity, and sample processing requirements. In this review, we critically evaluate the current landscape research-based epigenetic clocks, and their transition into direct-to-consumer testing. We discuss their key strengths, limitations, and translational potential, with particular emphasis on the growing demand for simplified, cost-effective, and analytically accessible epigenetic clocks, which should maintain predictive accuracy while enabling broader implementation in clinical and epidemiological settings. Special attention is given to ELOVL2-based clocks, which exemplify minimalistic yet robust models that can facilitate large-scale studies and democratize access to biological aging assessment. Ultimately, we argue that the next generation of epigenetic clocks should prioritize both analytical simplicity and validation across diverse populations to support personalized interventions for healthy aging.</p>","PeriodicalId":8909,"journal":{"name":"Biogerontology","volume":"27 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13149633/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147833101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings show that adult flies reared on a nutritionally rich control diet exhibited higher microbial richness but lower evenness compared to those on a nutritionally poor restricted diet.

Although adaptive responses to stress are well characterized, why comparable exposures yield sustained resilience in some individuals but progressive dysfunction in others remains insufficiently explained. We propose that the missing unifying constraint is not stress exposure itself, but the bioenergetic capacity to complete recovery. We reframe stress adaptation as a cyclical process comprising response, adaptation, and recovery, emphasizing that recovery is an active, ATP-dependent phase conditionally funded within a finite bioenergetic system. When mitochondrial processing capacity and redox flexibility are constrained, adaptive programs may persist beyond their functional window, contributing to mitochondrial congestion, epigenetic gridlock, and progressive loss of physiological plasticity-even in the absence of overt pathology. Within this perspective, we introduce Exposure-Related Malnutrition (ERM) as a proposed conceptual model describing a clinically interpretable and potentially reversible phenotype of unresolved bioenergetic triage. ERM is proposed to describe a state of relative undernutrition arising from chronic mismatch between energetic demand and recovery capacity, often occurring despite nominal intake and laboratory values within reference ranges. Distinct from frailty, sarcopenia, cachexia, metabolic syndrome, and classical malnutrition, ERM may reflect an upstream constraint in ATP-dependent recovery rather than structural loss, inflammatory wasting, metabolic thresholds, or inadequate intake. By integrating evolutionary allocation theory, developmental calibration, stress physiology, and mitochondrial mechanics, ERM is proposed to offer a unifying integrative framework for functional decline across aging and chronic disease. Clinically, this perspective shifts risk assessment from isolated thresholds toward coordinated biomarker patterns, trajectories, and recovery kinetics, potentially enabling recognition of vulnerability before incomplete resolution consolidates into irreversible pathology. We further outline translational implications of a recovery-centered approach, positioning mitochondrial processing capacity and intercellular bioenergetic support as modifiable determinants of long-term resilience.</p>","PeriodicalId":8909,"journal":{"name":"Biogerontology","volume":"27 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147810498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the molecular level, core pathways including telomere attrition, oxidative stress, cellular senescence, and autophagic dysregulation orchestrate this degenerative cascade.

Optimal levels of SIRT1 help maintain homeostasis and a biochemical environment conducive to healthspan, influencing biological processes such as mitochondrial dynamics, metabolic pathways, tissue remodeling, autophagy, inflammatory responses, and redox balance. This indicates that SIRT1, a pleiotropic molecule, orchestrates multiple responses throughout aging. SIRT1 may act as a dynamic sensor for exercise benefits and protect against aging by maintaining genomic integrity. Different exercise protocols (acute and chronic) and modalities (aerobic, resistance, and combined training) can increase mRNA levels, activity, or protein levels of SIRT1 in various vital organs (adipose tissue, hippocampus, heart, liver, bone, and skeletal muscle) of aged animals and older adults, promoting health.
