AI-designed drug shows promise in reversing biological aging markers in clinical trial

Insilico Medicine announced that rentosertib, an experimental lung disease drug developed using artificial intelligence, demonstrated the ability to reduce biological age markers in a 42-patient trial. Six independently built aging clocks all showed patients on the drug appeared biologically younger, according to a study conducted with researchers from Harvard Medical School, Stanford University, and The Broad Institute.
