Scientists have reversed the aging process in mice: Are humans next?
A recent study published in the journal Cell found that by making DNA repairs on mice, scientists were able to drive age "forward and backward" thus manipulating the aging process.

... they will never let us normal folk see any of this ...
Dr. Kara Fitzgerald, whose award-winning research into DNA methylation – the regulation of gene expression – has been studying the difference between biological and chronological aging, and she’s narrowed down how people can feel their best longer in her upcoming book, "YOUNGER YOU: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better."

I think this is more dangerous than anything else mentioned in your OP
The team then further purified P. corylifolia and conducted mass spectrometry analysis. They isolated 22 compounds from it. The activities of these compounds were verified and identified by utilizing the mother enrichment program (MEP) system tests, which have been developed to monitor replicative lifespan. One of the compounds, corylin, extended the life span of aged mice fed a high-fat diet.
In the study, the team further demonstrated that corylin prolongs life and reduces the aging process by inhibiting mTOR. This enzyme plays a vital role in regulating cell division and growth.
The researchers found that adding corylin to the diet significantly prolonged the life span of aged mice fed a high-fat diet, with a 20% reduction in mortality at 102 weeks in the corylin-fed group compared to the control mice.

The crude ethanol extract of the seeds of P. corylifolia was revealed to have high activity against the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS‐CoV) papain‐like protease (PLpro) with an IC50 of value of 15 μg/ml. SARS‐CoV‐PLpro is a main enzyme that have a vital role in SARS virus replication (Kim et al., 2014).

Me!!
So much to do and learn! So much....
