GDF-11

Growth Differentiation Factor 11 (GDF-11) is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily that has attracted significant attention as a potential circulating rejuvenation factor. Research suggests it declines with age and may play roles in cardiac, skeletal muscle, and brain rejuvenation, though its precise role in aging remains an active area of investigation.
