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.

Combining two cancer treatment drugs, trametinib and rapamycin, extends lifespan by 29% and 27% in middle-aged female and male mice, respectively.

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.

Cornell and UPenn scientists find that mice introduced to the wild as infants age faster than lab mice, but what does this mean for humans?
