Side Effect You Definitely Should Know About: An off-patent drug has turned out to have unexpected side effects. Researchers have found that Zoledronate, a drug used to treat osteoporosis, has unexpected life-extending properties in human beings, and they confirmed these findings in a fruit fly study.
Learn about the accidental discovery of this potential longevity drug in this episode. We also talk about a recent paper that had news outlets saying life extension is impossible -- we disagree, and it turns out that the paper itself does, too. There’s also news about CRISPR gene therapy in humans and a drug that reverses dementia in mice.
