In a new study reported in Science Advances, scientists analyzed MRI data stored at the UK Biobank and identified seven genes responsible for fast biological brain aging and 13 existing drugs that can target those genes.
Slowing the aging process is a powerful strategy to prevent many diseases and enhance longevity. Previous research has suggested that the ability to delay aging by even 2% could result in $7.1 trillion in health care savings in less than half a century. Over the years, it has become evident that the brain aging pattern significantly impacts overall human aging, as it is responsible for the rise in the risk of neurodegeneration and decline in both physical and cognitive health.
A crucial parameter in...
