Alpelisib as a Life-Extending Drug w/ Troy Merry: January 26, 2023

Nutrition researchers from the University of Auckland have recently been testing a new drug that is speculated to have life extending properties.

Alpelisib is showing evidence of extending the lifespan of mice by ten percent, and showing signs of the process being healthier than usual. 

While they’re a long way off, the researchers have been speculating about their ability to bring the treatment to humans. 

We heard from Troy Merry from UoA about their studies.
