Epigenetics is fascinating. I just came back from a project meeting, where i work with people who discovered that HRT (hormone replacement therapy) slows down epithelial cell aging. Epithelial cells are the cells that cover all your vital organs, so they are important for aging.

Now, there are even commercial companies that measure Epigenetic age of cells with a technique called DNA methylation.
