AI-developed lung disease drug reverses biological aging signs

An experimental drug developed with artificial intelligence has demonstrated a remarkable ability to reverse biological signs of aging in patients with a lung disease. The AI-created drug, Rentosertib, not only targets the incurable lung condition but also led to a significant drop in biological age indicators during trials. This breakthrough suggests a broader potential for AI in developing treatments that can impact aging. AI
