GDF5 (Growth differentiation factor 5)

From Longevity Wiki

GDF5 (Growth differentiation factor 5) leads to a “rejuvenating” transcriptomic signature in aged mice, as 42% of the transcripts dysregulated by ageing reverted to youthful expression levels and (17,8% of absolute maximal force increase) upon treating chronically (for 4 months) aged mice using recombinant GDF5 protein (rGDF5) in systemic administration.[1]
