Growth Hormone Receptor Antagonism Extends Lifespan.

Aging cell·September 1, 2026·PMID 42701998

Why it matters

Growth hormone receptor antagonism is a recognized longevity intervention, yet direct lifespan evidence in rodents was lacking due to poor drug affinity. These findings provide proof-of-concept that GH antagonism improves healthspan and extends lifespan, supporting further development of GH-targeting therapies for aging.
