<p>Participants: Healthy older adults </p>
<p>Dosage: 1 mg/day of rapamycin for 8 weeks </p>


Older adults taking low-dose rapamycin exhibit a reduction in senescent cells — cells that contribute to age-related diseases and a shorter lifespan.

A vaccine targeting an enzyme that breaks down NAD+, called CD38, counteracts signs of aging in mice. 


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).
