Harvard researchers develop drug cocktail that reverses aging in mice

  • Harvard scientists identified a combination of molecules that can rejuvenate aged cells and tissues in mice.
  • The drug cocktail consists of growth hormone, metformin, and a molecule that activates the AMPK enzyme.
  • Tests showed reversal of aging effects in muscles, liver, eyes and other organs in aged mice.
  • Human trials are being prepared to test the anti-aging treatment.
  • If proven safe and effective in humans, the therapy could enable whole-body rejuvenation and treatment of age-related diseases.
