Berberine: the new entity that slowed down ageing in mice

Just like rapamycin, berberine also slows down the senescent process

26-Dec-2019

Key points from article :

Berberine (BBR), a natural alkaloid may be an ideal candidate for an anti-ageing medicine.

Reduces the pace at which cells become senescent, so natural clearance mechanisms can catch up.

In mice model, prevented entry into senescence thus leading to increased life span.

Extended the lifespan of chemotherapy-treated mice and naturally aged mice by ~52% and ~16.49%.
