The AI that could uncover the secret of eternal youth

Scientists have revealed a new plan to find the key to eternal youth – and artificial intelligence will be leading the way. Using computer simulations to screen hundreds of compounds, researchers have developed a tool that can identify geroprotectors, the substances responsible for extending healthy life. GeroScope can compare changes in the cells of young and old patients and search for the drugs that counteract the processes. The project is led by scientists from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Insilico Medicine Inc, commissioned by the Center for Biogerontology and Regenerative Medicine. According to the researchers, using computer modelling techniques can help to cut down time and cost in the development of age-combating drugs.
