A vaccine targeting an enzyme that breaks down NAD+, called CD38, counteracts signs of aging in mice. 


Immunity

Model: Ten-month-old male EFAD mice 
Dosage: 14.4 ppm of alfatradiol in diet for five months

USC Study: Longevity-Promoting Drug Counteracts a Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer's

The drug alfatradiol, also known as 17ɑ-estradiol, reduces cognitive errors on a test of memory and lowers neuronal plaques in mice genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers unveil data suggesting the drug alfatradiol improves signs of frailty, reduces cognitive errors, and reduces neuronal plaques in mice with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease.

Brain &amp; Neurons

Model: 27-month-old male C57BL/6N mice 
Dosage: 50 mg/kg/day of fisetin for 1 week, followed by no treatment for 2 weeks, followed by another week of treatment

Plant-based molecule fisetin preserves muscle mass and strength in older mice via senolytic action — removal of senescent (dysfunctional) cells.

Clinical Trials

Model: C3B6F1 hybrid mice 
Dosage: 42 mg/kg of rapamycin and 1.44 mg/kg of trametinib in food starting at 6 months of age

Latest Research: Two FDA-Approved Drugs Additively Extend Lifespan

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have unveiled that combining trametinib with rapamycin, drugs used in cancer treatment, extends average lifespan by 29% in female mice and 27% in male mice, respectively.
