Coverage

12 Hallmarks of Aging

Genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, disabled macroautophagy, deregulated nutrient-sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, altered intercellular communication, chronic inflammation, and dysbiosis.

Therapeutic Interventions (8 categories)

Category Key Compounds Best Preclinical Result
Senolytics D+Q, fisetin, UBX1325, navitoclax ~36% remaining lifespan (D+Q)
mTOR Inhibitors Rapamycin, everolimus, acarbose 36.6% median lifespan (rapa+acarbose)
NAD+ Precursors NMN, NR, CD38 inhibitors NAD+ restoration, mixed clinical
GLP-1 Agonists Semaglutide, tirzepatide Epigenetic age reversal: GrimAge -3.1y
Epigenetic Reprogramming OSK factors, SB000, chemical 109% remaining lifespan (OSK)
Mitochondrial Urolithin A, elamipretide 12% muscle strength; FDA approval
Gene Therapy Klotho, follistatin, SIRT6, TERT 19.7-30% lifespan extension
Emerging Taurine, GlyNAC, AKG, spermidine 10-25% lifespan (taurine)

Biomarkers & Aging Clocks

  • 1st generation: Horvath (2013), Hannum (2013)
  • 2nd generation: PhenoAge (2018), GrimAge (2019)
  • 3rd generation: DunedinPACE (2022) - measures rate of aging
  • Proteomic: Organ-specific clocks (Oh et al. 2023), GDF-15
  • Commercial: TruDiagnostic, Elysium, Tally Health, GlycanAge

Clinical Trials

33+ trials across 11 intervention classes. Key results include PEARL (rapamycin), ASPIRE (UBX1325, +5.6 letters in NEJM Evidence), MitoImmune (Urolithin A, Nature Aging 2025), and TAME (metformin, pending).

Industry Landscape

$8B+ invested across 25+ companies. Major players: Altos Labs ($3B), Retro Biosciences ($1B), Calico (Alphabet), Unity Biotechnology, Insilico Medicine. Pharma partnerships: AbbVie-Calico ($1.5B+), Novartis-BioAge, Lilly-BioAge.

Data Sources

  • Peer-reviewed publications (Cell, Nature, Science, NEJM Evidence, Nature Aging, PNAS)
  • ClinicalTrials.gov registrations
  • Company disclosures and SEC filings
  • Conference presentations (ASCO, ASH)
  • Preprint servers (bioRxiv, medRxiv)

Evidence currency: through early 2025.

Methodology

This project was built in 3 phases using Claude Code:

  1. Research & Data Collection - Systematic search across 12 hallmarks, 8 intervention categories, biomarkers, trials, and companies
  2. Database Construction - Structured CSV databases with standardized schemas
  3. Synthesis & Visualization - Comprehensive review document and interactive D3.js mindmap

See longevity-research-tracker-prompts.md for the full prompt methodology.
