Stanford scientists discover fountain of youth molecule that revives deteriorating muscles - now the
Stanford scientists have discovered a molecule they hope could be turned into an anti-aging drug.
Testing in lab mice revealed that by blocking the action of an aging-related protein in the body called 15-PGDH, they could repair broken nerve and muscle fiber connections to restore strength and muscle mass.
The discovery could have wide-reaching implications for adults who start seeing muscle strength wane 10 percent with every passing decade, as well as tens of thousands of Americans with muscle-wasting diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
