New Breakthrough! This Household Medicine Can Reset the "Aging Clock" in Primates

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.
