About the Research

An international team of scientists from Skoltech, Moscow and Harvard University is working on the research project. Their main goal is to discover what influences the longevity of rodents. After the initial step is complete, they will look at how this knowledge can help us extend human lives as well.

The main point of the study is to examine what pharmaceutical and dietary interventions produce longevity biomarkers. That is where the 8 interventions come into play. As they are the substances that help with longevity, or so we believe.

The research is done on mice, as they have a similar organism to our own. However, the pharmaceutical and dietary supplements in the study are for human use. After we identify how the supplements influence the rodents, we can extend the study to human organisms as well.

The findings from this study are in the journal Cell Metabolism and you can find the article if you follow this link.
