What happened
The article argues that biomedical repair therapies targeting aging hallmarks are held back by regulatory frameworks built for single-disease drugs. It says regulators, including the FDA, have been cautious about accepting aging biomarkers as clinical endpoints. It proposes platform technology designations, multi-disease pathways, validated surrogate endpoints, and adaptive approval models as fixes.
