Can Testing Drugs in Five Species Help Us Find Treatments for Healthy Aging?

A new study describes a large cross-species testing system—using species from yeast to mice—to identify promising lifespan-extending drug candidates more efficiently.

Oxford Finds DNA "Rivers" Double Lifespan

Implanting DNA “rivers” into older mice significantly extends their lifespan and reduces age-promoting senescent cells in multiple vital organs.

<p>Model: 20-month-old male C57BL/6 mice<br />
Dosage: 3,000 to 4,000 µg of ouabain dissolved in 27,000 to 36,000 µL of PBS injected twice per week every third week over a period of three months</p>


AI Analyzes Millions of Molecular Profiles to Uncover Overlooked Aging Interventions

Harvard and MIT scientists analyze decades of publicly available molecular studies with a new AI platform to uncover hundreds of previously hidden anti-aging strategies, like the drug ouabain.

A new AI platform has uncovered hundreds of pro-longevity agents based on the reanalysis of millions of mouse and human gene expression samples.
