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.

Model: 11-month-old male C57BL/6J mice 
Dosage: 30 mg/kg/day of NTX-748 (based on a small molecule called 78c) for 4 months, administered orally

Blocking NAD+ Breakdown Improves Cognitive and Physical Performance

Buck Institute scientists find that blocking the CD38 enzyme, which elevates NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), counteracts age-related cognitive and physical decline in mice.

Dosage: 20 mg/kg of fisetin

Fisetin Combats Heart Disease by Eliminating Senescent Cells

Fisetin reduces susceptibility to a heart condition called atrial fibrillation (AF) and eliminates age-promoting senescent cells in aged rabbits.

Model: 20-month-old male C57BL/6 mice 
Dosage: 3,000 to 4,000 µg of ouabain dissolved in 27,000 to 36,000 µL of PBS injected twice per week every third week over a period of three months

AI Analyzes Millions of Molecular Profiles to Uncover Overlooked Aging Interventions

Harvard and MIT scientists analyze decades of publicly available molecular studies with a new AI platform to uncover hundreds of previously hidden anti-aging strategies, like the drug ouabain.

A new AI platform has uncovered hundreds of pro-longevity agents based on the reanalysis of millions of mouse and human gene expression samples.
