Abstract
Why do people age? When physicians can answer that question in biochemical and biophysical terms, perhaps they can rationally treat the devastations of aging. One biochemical event does occur in brain and liver.
Polyribosomes, RNA-rich cell organelles, degenerate with age. Several drugs, first diphenylhydantoin, then pemoline, and now NP-113, seem to oppose this degeneration, NP-113 most intensely. NP-113 also exerts significant antiviral effects.
