En studie med 440 deltagare från Women’s Interagency HIV Study fann att accelererat epigenetiskt åldrande i monocyter – en typ av immunceller – stämde bättre överens med emotionella och kognitiva depressionssymtom, såsom hopplöshet och förlust av glädje, än med fysiska symtom som trötthet. Arbetet, som publicerats i The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, bidrar med bevis för att celltypspecifika åldrandemått i framtiden skulle kunna komplettera symtombaserad depressionsscreening, även om forskarna betonar att mer validering krävs innan klinisk användning.
