BIOMARKERS OF AGING FOR DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF DISORDERS

摘要

Provided are methods of diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of aging using biomarkers that have been discovered to be linked to biological aging process. Methods for increasing neural cell regeneration and cognitive function are also provided. The methods are, at least in part, based on a discovery that altered expression patterns of certain biological markers are associated with biological aging processes. These markers comprise at least Eotaxin/CCL11, 2-microglobulin, MCP-1 and Haptoglobulin, increased expression of which has been shown to be associated with increase in biological aging process.
