Willemijn Passtoors | 19-12-2013 | Transcriptomic studies in human ageing and longevity The aim of this thesis was to identify in the human blood transcriptome, relevant pathways and potential biomarker profiles that associate with chronological age and discriminate between __healthy agers__ from long-lived families and normative ageing controls. Such profiles may harbor determinants of [...]
