Precise and interpretable neural networks reveal epigenetic signatures of aging across youth in health and disease by David Martínez-Enguita, Thomas Hillerton, Julia Åkesson, Daniel Kling, Maria Lerm, Mika Gustafsson

“…We showcased the practical applicability of this approach by identifying candidate mechanisms underlying the altered pace of aging observed in pediatric Crohn’s disease.DiscussionIn this study, we present a deep neural network epigenetic clock, named NCAE-CombClock, that improves age prediction accuracy in large datasets, and a suite of explainable neural network clocks for robust age classification across youth. Our models offer broad applications in personalized medicine and aging research, providing a valuable resource for interpreting aging trajectories in health and disease.…”
