The Future of Longevity

I think we'll see in the next three to five years of some preliminary drugs being offered to that have do have some benefit for longevity. Rapamycin is being studied for that right now. That's kind of a hot one. It has not been shown to extend life in humans, but that trial is ongoing. It has been shown to extend life in every other animal it's been tested on. There's drugs called senolytic drugs, which are drugs that kill off old cells in your body and old cells in your body when they're senescent, that means they're no longer multiplying. They inhibit other other ce, such as your gum cells, from growing and replacing them. Your cells are supposed to turn over and then die, in some cases, become senescent things kind of late. If these senolytic drugs clear those out so young, healthy cells can start growing again, that's.
