"Canine Longevity: The Race for an Anti-Aging Drug"

Clinical trials for potential anti-aging compounds are being conducted on dogs, as they have become a popular model for human aging. However, premature claims and marketing of life-extension supplements for dogs have raised credibility concerns within the scientific community. While the field of aging research holds promise for both humans and animals, there is a need for more rigorous scientific understanding and testing of potential treatments. Researchers are exploring various mechanisms of aging and conducting trials with drugs like Rapamycin to potentially extend the lives of both dogs and humans.
