Dog ageing research — a magazine-style write-up explaining a methylation-based study linking breed size and sex to differing molecular ageing patterns.
Key Takeaways

- Large dog breeds accumulated epigenetic ageing marks faster than small breeds, according to the clock.
- Male dogs showed faster epigenetic ageing than females, even when neutered early.
