Metformin: The Institute for Aging Research is pioneering tests of the diabetes drug in the hope it will be approved to treat ageing. Telomeres: Protective caps on chromosome­s. Their length plays a role in how fast we age at a cellular level – lifestyle factors like exercise, sleep and diet protect them and slow ageing. Noontropic­s: Drugs, supplement­s and other substances that improve cognitive function, particular­ly memory, creativity and motivation. Rapamycin: Antifungal agent currently used as an immunosupp­ressor to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients, being developed as an “anti-ageing” pill.
