<p>Participants: Prefrail older adults</p>
<p>Dosage: 50 mg/day of losartan for at least 8 weeks</p>


Losartan, a common blood pressure medication, increases the survival rate of mice and improves the metabolic outlook of pre-frail older adults.

Mitochondria-Made Molecule Reverses Memory Loss with Advanced Age

A naturally occurring compound, α-lipoic acid, helped elderly mice think like younger mice by restoring energy balance and calming brain inflammation, according to Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University researchers.

Could Aging Leave a "Memory" That Spreads and Even Passes to the Next Generation?

A new aging model posits that aging imprints signatures across molecular, tissue, and organ system levels, and these signatures may also transmit across generations.

A new theory posits that aging imprints molecular-, cellular-, tissue-, and organ system-level signatures that may transmit across generations.

Approved Human Study Sets Up Pivotal Test for Aging Theory from Harvard’s David Sinclair

In a major proving ground test for the longevity field, the FDA has given its approval for a human trial for a gene therapy attempting a near-total rejuvenating reset of cells.
