Does methylation present a significant link to the way a human body ages? Methylation is an identified process that involves protein production from DNA and communicates with genes to control the varied protein in the human body. Methyl (methylation) groups adhere to DNA and participate in the expression of the gene.
Methylation is coding that can involve some damage which is connected to ongoing changes in the way cells, systems and organs operate in the body. As humans age, DNA obtained from blood will indicate fewer places methyl groups have attached. This means older people are less densely methylated.
Research is working to capture a means to benefit from this corelation between advanced age and decreased methylation. This is still quite complex, and continuing to evolve. DNA methylation does not manifest simple, straight forward changes with age, area of body, and category of cell. Patterns and measurements do not confirm clear concise results.
Simply, does the decrease in methylation present itself due to the extended participation in a process that serves and aging body. Is this decreased methylation an adaptation to the advanced age. Or is the decreased methylation part of the cause for the aging of the body. Would an adjustment to the methylation extend human life.
