Aging &amp; Longevity

A 167-study analysis reveals that rapamycin prolongs lifespan as effectively as dietary restriction: reducing food intake without entering a state of malnourishment.

Model: Male Monkeys 
Dosage: 20 mg/kg/day of metformin

Supplementation of metformin — a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes and the second-most prescribed medication in the U.S. — improves the learning and memory of older monkeys.

Engineered Immune Cells Can Hunt Down and Eliminate Aging Cells

A study demonstrates that engineered immune cells can serve as potent and selective medicine for cells at the center of aging and age-associated diseases. 


According to a new senate bill, funding is being allocated towards research focused on delaying or reversing aging with a new technology called epigenetic reprogramming — genetically restoring cells to an earlier stage of development.
