The "Stepping Stone" Approach To Getting Longevity Drugs To Market
The "Stepping Stone" approach is a new approach to bring longevity drugs to the market. This approach involves first developing drugs that target age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease, which are more likely to gain regulatory approval. Once these drugs are approved, they can be used to validate the concept of longevity drugs and pave the way for the development of more specific anti-aging drugs.
