The type 2 diabetes drug metformin helped slow aging across multiple organs, including the brain, kidneys, and the skin, a study in cynomolgus monkeys has shows.

A recent study has shown that metformin, a diabetes medication, may slow ageing in monkeys by preserving cognitive function and delaying tissue ageing. Conducted by Guanghui Liu's team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences,

Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have made a groundbreaking discovery about aging, raising the question: is it reversible? Their research sheds light on how metformin, a common medication for type 2 diabetes,

Scientists in China have found evidence in monkeys that metformin can reliably slow down the brain's aging process.

The scientists have said much more research would be required before metformin can be approved as an anti-ageing compound in humans.
