“The call from Stockholm is mythic in the world of science.”
New medicine laureate Gary Ruvkun has received a prank call or two in the past, but today’s was genuine. We talked to him minutes after he heard the news of his #NobelPrize.

Updated list of FDA approved drugs as promising for targeting aging: SGLT2 inhibitors, metformin, bisphosphonates, and GLP-1 receptor agonists
Einstein researchers, led by @NirBarzilaiMD, evaluated #FDA-approved drugs for their anti-aging potential. In ranking those drugs, they gave equal weight to preclinical studies and clinical studies.
