Cycloastragenol Is a Potent Telomerase Activator in Neuronal Cells: Implications for Depression Management

Cycloastragenol (CAG) is an aglycone of astragaloside IV. It was first identified when screening Astragalus membranaceus extracts for active ingredients with antiaging properties. The present study demonstrates that CAG stimulates telomerase activity and cell proliferation in human neonatal keratino...
