Un spray banal pentru nasul înfundat, pe lista medicamentelor care ar putea influența îmbătrânirea. Ce au descoperit cercetătorii

Researchers have identified oxymetazoline, a common nasal spray ingredient, as potentially influencing aging processes, alongside aspirin. This finding comes from a study analyzing 6,442 drugs for their biological targets related to longevity. The study highlights the need for further investigation into existing medications for new therapeutic uses. While oxymetazoline showed promise in altering gene activity related to aging, the research does not confirm that it can extend lifespan. The study emphasizes the importance of a method called SHARP for selecting drugs worthy of further testing.
