Doxorubicin
upcellular senescence1
Doxorubicin induces cellular senescence in human cells.
“Here we show that doxorubicin-induced senescence disrupts mitochondrial function in primary human astrocytes and compromises their capacity to sustain neuronal bioenergetics.”

Lithium
uptelomere length1
Lithium is associated with telomere length in humans.
“Clinical findings further suggest that chronic lithium treatment may be associated with preserved telomere length and attenuated biological brain aging in BD.”

Antioxidant-rich dietary patterns
mixedDNA methylation clock1
Antioxidant-rich dietary patterns are associated with DNA methylation clock in humans.
“The available evidence does not support a uniform epigenetic anti-aging effect. Instead, methylation-age responses were clock-specific, exposure-dependent and often most apparent in metabolically or biologically responsive subgroups.”
