This data supports the accompanying post about Christopher Petty, Kelly Rich, and the Sinclair lab's #ARDD2026 presentation demonstrating that the SL-100 chemical reprogramming cocktail prevented weight loss and frailty progression in fast-aging LAKI mice compared to untreated controls. > > "Congrats to Christopher Petty, Kelly Rich and the Sinclair lab at Harvard on today's #ARDD2026 talk: a first look at SL-100 in mice. On this chemical reprogramming cocktail, fast-aging mice kept their weight and didn't get frailer. Untreated mice did. Early, unpublished data." ### Discussion #2 by @spacepat_o > **Author:** [@spacepat_o](https://x.com/spacepat_o) > **Metrics:** 42 likes · 3 retweets · 1 comments · 1.9K views > **Posted:** 2026-10-02T17:38:12+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/spacepat_o/status/2106076293859000723](https://x.com/spacepat_o/status/2106076293859000723) > **Visual Context:** A large white industrial building displays the "ROCKETLAB" logo, with what appears to be a rocket fairing or nose cone visible on a platform to the left, set against a partly cloudy sky.
