Northeastern researchers identify existing drugs, including nasal sprays, as potential candidates for slowing aging
By
Hannah Morse
Summary
Northeastern University researchers have identified an approach to repurpose existing drugs — such as common nasal sprays — to affect the aging process. By analyzing aging-related genes, they aim to find drugs that could either increase longevity or accelerate aging. The research suggests that common, already-approved medications might hold keys to slowing or reversing aspects of biological aging.

· 3 pulledA team led by Northeastern University researchers say perhaps. They have found an approach to identify existing drugs that could be repurposed to affect aging.
Could that nasal spray for your stuffy nose be repurposed to reverse one or more of the processes of aging?
The quest to prolong life has gone on for as long as human existence itself, from the mythical Fountain of Youth to quick-fix fads like intermittent fasting, supplements and injections.
