How does ageing differ between men and women?
Dr Robin Grolaux (in @nireynon.bsky.social's group) is studying non-linear DNA methylation patterns that reveal key differences in how men and women age and what that means for inflammation and cancer risk.

Are $1000 biological age tests worth it?
ARMI's @nireynon.bsky.social breaks it down:
🧬 DNA methylation can show if your body’s ageing faster/slower
⚠️ But the “5 years younger/older” numbers aren’t reliable
💡 Still, a result showing "you’re older" can be a wake-up call

Can a blood test reveal how many healthy years you have left?
For nearly $1000, new tests promise to tell you how well you’re ageing. Here’s what to know before getting one.
