Aging Clocks Applied to Human Trial Data Support AI-Designed Drug Lowering Age

Six proteomics-based aging clocks (age assessments from large-scale analyses of proteins) agreed that patients treated with the AI-designed drug rentosertib appeared younger.

The AI-designed drug rentosertib was shown to lower biological age across six aging clocks in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Repurposing Erectile Dysfunction Pills for Longevity

Some people are taking erectile dysfunction medications like Cialis and Viagra for more than sex—rather, to help them live longer.

People have started repurposing erectile dysfunction medications, such as Cialis and Viagra, to help them live longer.

<p>Dosage: 500 mg of intravenous NAD+ or 500 mg of intravenous NR daily for four consecutive days</p>


Pilot Human Study Supports Safety of NAD+ IV and NR IV Infusions

A Stanford study supports the short-term safety of NAD+ and NR infusion therapies, and participants who received NR infusions exhibited significantly lower HbA1c (a blood test that reflects average blood sugar over two to three months).

A Stanford human trial provides the first data supporting the safety of NAD+ IV and NR IV therapies.

What Is Mosaic Aging? How Organs Age at Different Rates

A new framework proposes that the patchwork nature of aging, where different organs deteriorate at different speeds, may hold the key to understanding the ultimate cause of death.

A new framework proposes that aging occurs unevenly in cells, tissues, and organs, and that targeting the fastest-aging tissues may extend lifespan.
