"Aspirin is recognized for its effects in heart-attack prevention. And several studies 'have provided evidence that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin, may hold promise in helping to prevent cancer,'...
In particular, we show that aspirin reduces the likelihood that cancers will spread..."

Myostatin is a muscle-inhibiting protein. There is evidence that the gene responsible for this protein is involved with the loss of muscle mass that human experience with age.
In a mouse experiment, researchers found that “Mice with the myostatin gene removed grow more muscle." Using this knowledge, scientists have been working on therapies to combat muscle loss.
Here is another confirmation that myostatin is involved in age-related changes in muscle mass and strength via its effect on stem cells...

Scientists at Duke will share a $14 million grant from DARPA to study biological clocks.
If scientists can isolate the genes, molecules and signals of human biological clocks, they could find ways to control and repair them if they are broken or damaged. A new DARPA grant will bring together many leading experts on the cell cycle, the circadian clock, the metabolism of yeast, root growth in plants and pulsing processes in bacteria, to deconstruct the molecular and genetic rhythms that keep these organisms alive. These scientists have four years to investigate the diverse rhythms of life.
