Yeast experiments show a new drug extends lifespan and slows aging by targeting a key growth-control pathway. Surprisingly, agmatinases, enzymes regulating this pathway, play a crucial role in aging. The study highlights the significant impact of diet and gut microbes on aging, as they produce essential metabolites that influence this pathway and ultimately lifespan. These findings suggest potential new avenues for anti-aging interventions by manipulating the growth pathway and considering the influence of diet and the gut microbiome.
