Anti-Aging Breakthrough? Harvard's David Sinclair Predicts Age-Reversing Pill by 2035

A leading thinker in the field of aging research, Dr. David Sinclair, shares insights on the rapid pace of advancements in aging research and predicts the availability of age-reversing pills within the next 10 years.

(Dr. David Sinclair believes an age-reversing pill is under development | YouTube)

Harvard’s Dr. David Sinclair believes an age-reversing pill may become available within a decade and that researchers may find a way to one day double human lifespan.

<p>Model: C3B6F1 hybrid mice<br />
Dosage: 42 mg/kg of rapamycin and 1.44 mg/kg of trametinib in food starting at 6 months of age</p>


Latest Research: Two FDA-Approved Drugs Additively Extend Lifespan

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have unveiled that combining trametinib with rapamycin, drugs used in cancer treatment, extends average lifespan by 29% in female mice and 27% in male mice, respectively.

Combining two cancer treatment drugs, trametinib and rapamycin, extends lifespan by 29% and 27% in middle-aged female and male mice, respectively.

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).
