First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looked at 10 children aged 5-15 with growth hormone deficiency to see if 6 months of hormone therapy changes their biological age (measured by DNA markers). Researchers compared epigenetic age before and after treatment. The goal was to learn how growth hormone affects aging at a cellular level, not to cure or treat the condition directly.
