  "summary": "Background. Blood-based biological age clocks predict mortality well, but they are statistical composites. They do not say which physiological systems make a person biologically older, and they cannot say how an intervention would move the clock or whether moving it would change risk. Methods. We built IQN-BIOAGE-01, a quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) model of mortality-referenced…",
