The Sheekey Science Show | Lifespan extending compounds: from mice to mechanism - Prof Rich Miller @TheSheekeyScienceShow | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 hours ago
In this video I spoke with Rich Miller, Professor of Pathology at the University of Michigan and the Director of Michigan’s Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research. He also contributes to the Interventions Testing Program (ITP), created in the early 2000s to study the effect of various drugs on lifespan in mice. The ITP has produced evidence for anti-aging drugs, such as rapamycin, and, in contrast, has shown a lack of effectiveness for several agents, such as metformin. We discuss the ITP findings, the biology of aging and the important questions still to address.
