Chinese scientists have developed an anti-aging drug
The New York Times reported that Lonvi Biosciences laboratory, located in Shenzhen, China, is conducting new scientific research in the field of longevity. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This laboratory is becoming famous as a startup conducting research to slow down the aging process and extend human life. The laboratory scientists have created anti-aging tablets based on the compound procyanidin C1 (PCC1) derived from grape seeds.
This compound helps reduce the activity of cells that cause aging. Experiments conducted on mice showed that this compound increased lifespan by 9.4%, and after treatment began, it succeeded in extending overall lifespan by 64.2%.
According to Liu Xinhua, Chief Technical Officer of Lonvi Biosciences, in the future, it may become scientifically possible for humans to live up to 150 years. He believes that by controlling the renewal process of cells in the human body, longevity could become a common occurrence.
Grape seed is currently widely used as a health product in Western countries. Its oil is used in cosmetology for skin rejuvenation and cell regeneration.
Previously, activities in this field were considered fraudulent in China, but today, thanks to government support and private investments, this sector has become a promising scientific and economic direction. The Chinese government has been paying great attention to longevity technologies in recent years.
Scientific institutes and private companies are investing heavily in research on biotechnology, gene therapy, and cell regeneration. In 2024, the average life expectancy in China reached 79 years, which is five years longer than the global average.
This result has placed China among the leading countries implementing longevity strategies. Meanwhile, on September 3, ahead of the military parade in Beijing, a broadcast aired showing a conversation between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin about humans living up to 150 years and extending life by replacing certain body organs.
This event demonstrates that the concept of longevity holds not only scientific but also political and strategic significance. The research conducted by Lonvi Biosciences is being regarded as a new hope for all humanity.
If the results announced by the laboratory are confirmed, anti-aging tablets may appear on pharmacy shelves in the coming years.
