The most well-established longevity manipulations in mice may retard ageing by slowing down the developmental software program. Dietary restriction, GH/IGF1 inhibition, and rapamycin are, respectively, the major dietary, genetic, and pharmacological life-extending interventions. All these manipulations also regulate growth and development and hence may slow down the running of the developmental software program which in turn retards ageing, supporting the idea of ageing as a software design flaw
