Fighting Old Age

Sinclair, from Harvard Medical School, is testing a pill that appears to address and even reverse some of the typical signs of aging, including higher blood pressure, weight gain and slower metabolism—at least in mice.

Human trials are set to start in the next year or so. —Alice Park
