 The most advanced of these regimens was UAG-7 (Universal AnaGathic).  This is popularly imagined, and depicted in fiction, as a single drug, but it was actually a regimen of treatments.  The final treatment introduced active nanomachines into the body; these would remain in circulation indefinitely and remove plaque deposts, repair molecular damage, and generally keep things "cleaned up" on an ongoing basis.  It also supplemented the immune system to some extent, though was unpredictable in whether it would prove effective against any given pathogen. The most advanced of these regimens was UAG-7 (Universal AnaGathic).  This is popularly imagined, and depicted in fiction, as a single drug, but it was actually a regimen of treatments.  The final treatment introduced active nanomachines into the body; these would remain in circulation indefinitely and remove plaque deposts, repair molecular damage, and generally keep things "cleaned up" on an ongoing basis.  It also supplemented the immune system to some extent, though was unpredictable in whether it would prove effective against any given pathogen.

 Since the war, recom scientists have continued some anti-aging research, primarily working on treatments to keep recoms healthy into their old age rather than extend their life span, as such.  This work has been complicated by the tangle of incompatible genetic sources that different recom lines were originally made from. Since the war, recom scientists have continued some anti-aging research, primarily working on treatments to keep recoms healthy into their old age rather than extend their life span, as such.  This work has been complicated by the tangle of incompatible genetic sources that different recom lines were originally made from.
