The Rise of China’s Longevity Movement: A Quest to Defy Aging

China’s national project to crush aging encompasses longevity labs, “immortality islands,” and grapeseed pills, as well as exorbitant claims based on sometimes questionable science.

Johns Hopkins Research Review: Parkinson’s Drug Extends Multiple Species' Lifespan

L-deprenyl, a drug used to treat Parkinson’s disease and major depressive disorder, has been shown to modestly extend lifespan across species, from mice to rats to hamsters.

L-deprenyl, a drug prescribed to treat Parkinson’s disease and major depressive disorder, has been shown to modestly extend average lifespan across mammalian model organism species.

The Latest Insight on Anti-Aging Therapeutics Targeting Cardiovascular Disease

According to French scientists, no organ system appears as vulnerable to aging as the cardiovascular system, and anti-aging therapeutics may help mitigate the effects of cardiovascular disease.
