Aging is a major risk factor for a number of chronic diseases, including
cancer, type II diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial
infarction, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. In animal models,
treatments that extend lifespan often protect against these chronic
diseases and there is a reason to believe that a similar approach might
work in humans. Therefore, the geroscience concept, which aims to
prolong the healthy state of the human body, is likely to become a key
paradigm of biomedicine in developed countries in coming decades
(Seals et al., 2015) .
Today, more than 200 substances belong to this
group, each reported to slow aging and/or increase lifespan in a variety
of organisms, including yeasts, nematodes, fruit flies, and rodents,
according to the Geroprotectors.org database. Despite such an impressive rate of discovery, not a single geropro-
tector has yet reached the pharmaceutical market as a recognized
intervention targeting aging.
This is due following reasons
a) There is
no unified mechanistic concept of aging, and primary triggers of aging
are still poorly understood.
b) There is no comprehensive system of objective human aging biomarkers.
c) Aging is
not recognized as a disease or a complex of syndromes
d) The scientific community has no consensus view on the concept of geroprotectors, on
selection criteria for potential geroprotectors, or on the development of
appropriate classification schemes, efficiency ratings, and approaches for
predicting and modeling geroprotective properties.
This issue has been previously discussed in researchgate and other sites..
According to GeneAge Database....there are around 1825 genes whose knockdown, knockout or overexpression is known to result in an increase in life span.
In recent review article published by Dr. Alex Zhavoronkov discusses about the primary selection criteria for the geroprotectors..........................................................Click here for downloading the article
Most commonly used geroprotectors
Acarbose
Dephernyl
D-glucosamine
Dihydroergocristine methanesulfonate
Ellagic acid
Glutathione
Metformin
Vinpocetine
All these molecules are et
In addition the there is a conference on longevity in Russia............click here for registration
Recent studies shows that these molecules may be anticancer drugs but may also be useful in attaining longevity. People interested in longevity conference and to learn more about the recent advancement in cancer therapy can visit the above page.
I'm happy to see the colossal detail here!.

there's the Cincinnati health community. this is a non-public, non-income corporation, which goes to coordinate offerings and alternatives for folks who might be left inside the lower back of. The network refers to these people because of the “medically underserved and unique populace agencies” of Cincinnati cahns.org.
