The Cross-Linkage Theory or also referred to as the glycosylation theory of aging was discovered or proposed by Johan Bjorksten in the 1940s. According to this theory, the aggregation of cross-linked proteins can damage cells and tissues this slowing down the bodily processes that eventually results to aging. In recent studies, cross-linking is associated with age-related changes in the studied proteins. Furthermore, this theory stresses out that the binding of glucose to proteins can cause various problems. Once the said binding occurs, the protein becomes impaired which leads to its performance inefficiency. Living a longer life would also mean increasing the possibility of oxygen-glucose meeting and protein. Some of the known cross-linking disorders include senile cataract and the appearance of tough, leathery, yellow skin.

In 1918, the Russian Tsar Nicholas II was deposed, and he and his family were reportedly executed and buried in a shallow grave.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

By making a paternity test by Short tandem repeats, or STRs (microsatellites).

Explanation:

Short tandem repeats, or STRs, are microsatellites consisting of repeated sequences of 2 to 6 base pair length monomers  in tandem, and most of them have a high degree of polymorphism. Half of an individual microsatellites are inherited by each parent, and they can be assesed by PCR amplification and further electrophoresis.

In this case, you would try to recover a bone from the remainings of the woman, the Tsar and his wife, since the rest of the latest were in a shallow grave with many different individuals. Preferably, you should manipulate this samples in an ancient DNA facility (aDNA) with proper techniques. You clean the bone samples, drill them, and from internal bone powder make a DNA extraction. After this, you perform a series of PCR targeting a panel of STRs, and electrophoresis. If the woman claim is true, half of her microsatellites should have correspondence with the Tsar, and half with the ones of his wife.
