Biotech Startup Aims to Harness New NAD+-Related Drug Against Aging

The longevity biotech company, MetaShape, has a new compound designed to restore cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and offset elevated cholesterol, cognitive decline, and neurodegeneration.

Will Interventions that Delay Aging in Animals Work for Humans?

Researchers have shown that using certain agents targeting hallmarks of aging (like inflammation) can extend lifespan in mice, yet human trials are just beginning to uncover whether they work in humans.
