Extension of lifespan by epicatechin, halofuginone and mitoglitazone in male but not female genetically heterogeneous mice - PubMed Mice bred in 2021 were tested by the Interventions Testing Program (ITP) for possible lifespan benefits of 2BAct (2BA), dichloroacetate (DCA), Epicatechin (EPI), Forskolin (FSK), Halofuginone (HAL) an...

New results from the ITP. Epicatechin, Halofuginone, and Mitoglitazone all increased medium lifespan in male but not female mice. Epicatechin and Halofuginone also increased 90% survival.

It's very worrying that academic freedom is being crippled like this. It's not just an attack on academia but an attack on democracy as democracy can only survive when there's room for debate that is in contradiction with official narratives.

Good news that we’re back to pre-pandemic death levels…but @actuarybyday.bsky.social is right to note that things have been pretty flat since 2010.

One part of the solutionβ€”I know I’m a broken record!β€”is to fund longevity science to develop preventative medicine that can keep us healthy for longer!
