Model: 20-month-old female C57BL/J mice 
Dosage: 10 nmol/kg/day of semaglutide

Semaglutide extends mouse lifespan and targets signs of aging, such as diminished NAD+, while mimicking the anti-aging effects of caloric restriction (consuming fewer calories). 


The study was led by Dr. Danica Chen (image: berkeley.edu).

The Overlooked Organ That Could Hold the Key to Fighting Aging

Scientists are researching ways to regrow the thymus, an immune organ that vanishes with age, to suppress the tolls of aging.

An organ involved in immunity, the thymus, vanishes as people get older, and scientists are researching ways to regrow it to fight aging.

Immunity

Model: C57BL/6J mice 
Dosage: Eating only within an 8-hour window and fasting for 16 hours (~20% caloric deficit may be required)

Restricting food intake for 16 hours a day improves the health of female mice and moderately prolongs the life of male mice.

Top Evidence-Based Interventions to Lower Biological Age

Epigenetic aging clocks estimate biological age based on DNA molecular tagging patterns, and interventions like semaglutide and ketamine reduce these estimates in humans.

As reviewed in this article, epigenetic aging clocks have estimated the effects of pharmaceutical interventions, lifestyle habits, supplements, and clinical interventions on biological age.

Peter Fedichev’s Physics-Based Approach to Aging: A New Longevity Framework

Peter Fedichev describes aging as a three-variable system of stress (from physical, psychological, or molecular stressors), noise (small random biological fluctuations), and damage (cumulative wear-and-tear).

Peter Fedichev has proposed a physics-based framework for aging, encompassing stress, noise (small random biological fluctuations), and damage (cumulative wear-and-tear).
