"Uncovering the Untapped Potential of Anti-Aging Drugs and Longevity Clinics"

Dr. Nir Barzilai, a leading longevity researcher, has identified four promising but overlooked anti-aging drugs: Metformin, Rapamycin, ACE inhibitors, and SGLT2 inhibitors. These drugs have shown potential in extending lifespan and improving age-related health issues, such as reducing inflammation, cancer risk, and improving immune function. Despite being already available and relatively low-cost, these drugs struggle to attract investment due to their generic nature. However, they offer potential for treating aging-related conditions and are backed by established safety and efficacy data.

Unlocking the Secrets of Longevity: Science, Treatments, and Investments

Longevity science is focused on slowing down the diseases of aging by targeting the underlying processes of aging itself. Chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes typically appear in individuals in their 60s, and as people age, they often develop multiple chronic conditions. Researchers believe that by addressing the aging process, it may be possible to delay or prevent age-related diseases, allowing individuals to live healthier and longer lives. Strategies being explored include drugs like rapamycin and senolytics, as well as lifestyle interventions such as exercise. Clinical trials are underway to test the effectiveness of these interventions, but challenges remain in testing them in humans due to the slow aging process. The field of longevity science is growing, with increasing investment and research efforts aimed at translating animal studies into human treatments.

AI uncovers potential anti-aging treatments for eyesight, Alzheimer's, and zombie cells.

An AI algorithm has identified three natural compounds that can help combat age-related health issues, including Alzheimer's disease and certain cancers. The algorithm combed through a library of over 4,300 chemical compounds and identified 21 drug candidates that could prompt cell senescence. Of those 21 candidates, the scientists zeroed in on three compounds – ginkgetin, oleandrin, and periplocin – which were able to remove defective cells without harming healthy ones when tested on human cells. The research team headed up by experts at Scotland's University of Edinburgh devised an algorithm that successfully zeroed in on three natural compounds that can help stave off age-related health declines such as vision loss, loss of mobility, and Alzheimer's.
