In this 2023 paper, we showed age-related DNA methylation changes are accelerated by DNA breaks
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
In this paper, we show DNA breaks are a major driver of epigenetic change. We experience these in the trillions every day in our bodies. These advance the DNA methylation or "Horvath Clock"
A study @NatMetabolism shows mitochondrial DNA defects - one of the 8 hallmarks of aging - cause breaks in nuclear DNA, the kind we find accelerate the epigenetic clock & age-related diseases👇
