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.

Participants: Werner syndrome patients 
Dosage: 1 gram of NR per day for 26 weeks

The NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) booster NR (nicotinamide riboside) improves cardiovascular health in Werner syndrome patients.

Latest Human Trial from the Buck Institute Shows Plasma Exchange Lowers Biological Age

A new human study shows that a procedure involving the replacement of blood plasma with a fresh solution (therapeutic plasma exchange) lowers a measure of how quickly the body is aging (biological age).

In a first-of-its-kind human trial, participants who underwent therapeutic plasma exchange exhibited significantly lowered biological age.

Restoring the essential molecule NAD+ may potentially hold the key to treating Alzheimer’s, as Harvard researchers emphasize the role of low brain NAD+ in this devastating disease.

Model: C57BL/6N male mice 
Dosage: AIN-93 M diet with 0.025% (15 mg/kg per day) niclosamide for the Old + NL group or 0.050% (30 mg/kg per day) niclosamide for the Old + NH group, starting at 12 months of age to 21 months of age

Drug Approved Against Tapeworms May Counteract Aging, Suggests New Study

New research suggests niclosamide, approved for human use against tapeworms, alleviates frailty and suppresses the protein complex mTOR, which regulates cell growth, in aged mice.
