A new study identified an unlikely contender for longevity research: a common over-the-counter drug that may help restore a key cellular process that declines with age.

For decades, scientists have tackled the question of longevity. Now existing drugs may offer key clues.

While researchers have identified thousands of genes linked to aging, they have yet to produce an effective anti-aging treatment. Much of this is because aging is caused by a complex web of interconnected cellular mechanisms.
