CEO He Xiaopeng then pinned a staff badge onto the robot, symbolically welcoming it to the XPENG team.

According to a new study published in Nature Biotechnology, the drug's target was chosen specifically because it overlaps heavily with the biology of aging, and the whole trial was designed to test whether treating the lungs could also mean turning back the body's biological clock.
