A major discovery! The team led by Liu Guanghui from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with top-tier researchers, has published a groundbreaking paper in the journal Cell, revealing the novel anti-aging effects of metformin—a "veteran drug."
After eight years of intensive research, scientists have for the first time mapped out an anti-aging blueprint for primates, demonstrating that metformin not only controls blood sugar but also decelerates the aging clock.
In a 40-month-long study, they found that metformin can significantly slow down the aging process in male crab-eating macaques. Multiple organs—from brain to heart, liver to bones—exhibited a "youthful" state. This is not just a marginal improvement but a systemic "age-reversal" effect.
What's the secret? Metformin doesn't merely regulate metabolism but activates the cellular antioxidant gene network, directly combating aging. It's like installing a "youth switch" in cells, rejuvenating them.
Notably, the protective effects of metformin on the brain are particularly significant, enhancing cognitive function and fighting neural degeneration. This brings new hope in the battle against age-related diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists also used machine learning to construct precise aging assessment models, confirming that metformin could make the "biological age" of primates six years younger—the equivalent of 18 human years! This isn't just a reduction in numbers but a significant leap in life quality!
This groundbreaking discovery not only brings new hope to the field of anti-aging but also provides a clear direction for future anti-aging drug development. Metformin, this old drug with a new application, might just become the "super weapon" against human aging.
Latest developments
With infinite hope for future medical technology, I applied to become a member of the Yinfeng Life Extension Program and volunteered to contribute to cryobiology in a hundred years by becoming a cryonics volunteer. I also believe that preservation in China is safer.
As a distinguished emblem of technological innovation in Shandong, Yinfeng's Life Continuation Project will continue to build a bridge for domestic and international government research and academic exchange, continually strengthen scientific collaborations and result transformations with global research institutions, consistently contribute to the development of cryobiomedicine, and inject continuous hope into the shared ideal of extending human life.
Exploring life sciences and anticipating future miracles. The Yinfeng Life Extension Program members' online exchange meeting successfully concluded at 9:30 AM. Aaron Drake, Director of the Clinical Response Center at Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute (hereafter referred to as Yinfeng Institute), and the cryonics team participated in this exchange event.
