The AI platform AgeXtend has made significant strides in identifying substances that could potentially slow aging and enhance health. Developed by researchers at IIIT-Delhi, this innovative tool screened over 1.1 billion compounds, marking a pivotal advancement in longevity research. The findings, published in Nature Aging, showcase the platform's capability to predict and validate compounds with geroprotective effects.
AgeXtend's applications extend beyond mere discovery; it serves as a 'discovery engine' for anti-aging research, opening avenues for personalized medicine and drug development. The integration of AI in analyzing biomarkers and aging clocks allows researchers to target the fundamental causes of aging rather than just treating age-related diseases. While the initial results are promising, further testing and regulatory approval are essential before these compounds can be utilized therapeutically.
• AgeXtend screens over 1.1 billion compounds for anti-aging potential.
• AI-driven approaches are crucial for extending human healthy lifespan.
Geroprotective effects refer to substances that can extend lifespan or combat age-related decline.
Biomarkers are biological indicators used to assess health or disease, crucial for aging research.
Aging clocks estimate biological age, helping researchers understand aging processes more accurately.
IIIT-Delhi is a research institute that developed AgeXtend, focusing on AI applications in longevity.
