Molecular mechanisms of metformin action: From metabolic effects to lifespan extension and healthspan promotion

Metformin stands at the intersection of metabolic regulation and ageing biology. While not a panacea, its favourable safety profile and multi-targeted actions make it a leading candidate for repurposing as an anti-ageing therapy. Continued clinical validation is essential to translate these insights into practice.

Abstract

Metformin stands at the intersection of metabolic regulation and ageing biology. While not a panacea, its favourable safety profile and multi-targeted actions make it a leading candidate for repurposing as an anti-ageing therapy. Continued clinical validation is essential to translate these insights into practice.
