Yet while hundreds of geroprotectors have extended lifespan in animal models, none have yet been approved for widespread use in humans. GeroScope is a computational tool that can aid prediction of novel geroprotectors from existing human gene expression data. GeroScope maps expression differences between samples from young and old subjects to aging-related signaling pathways, then profiles pathway activation strength (PAS) for each condition. Known substances are then screened and ranked for those most likely to target differential pathways and mimic the young signalome. Here we used GeroScope and shortlisted ten substances,Aging2127-2152https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5076455biostudies-literatureIn search for geroprotectors: in silico screening and in vitro validation of signalome-level mimetics of young healthy state.PMC5076455Swick AGMamoshina PBelikov AVSuntsova MBorisov NJellen LGarazha ABuzdin AVenkova LIvanova AAliper APutin EArtemov AMoskalev AZhavoronkov AfalseIn search for geroprotectors: in silico screening and in vitro validation of signalome-level mimetics of young healthy state.Populations in developed nations throughout the world are rapidly aging, and the search for geroprotectors, or anti-aging interventions, has never been more important.
