A recent clinical trial involving two EPFL entities \u2014 spin-off Amazentis and the Laboratory of Integrative Systems Physiology (LISP) \u2014 showed that urolithin A, a compound derived from biomolecules found in fruits such as pomegranates, could slow down this process by improving the functioning of mitochondria \u2014 the cells\u2019 powerhouses.
