Rodents dubbed 'supermodel grannies' lived almost 25 per cent longer than their untreated peers, study finds
Rodents dubbed 'supermodel grannies' lived almost 25 per cent longer than their untreated peers, study findsA new drug created to treat lung disease has been found to increase the lifespan of mice by nearly 25 per cent, raising hopes that the treatment may one day be able to slow human ageing as well.
Doing so extended the lifespan of males by 22.5 per cent on average – with females living 25 per cent longer, compared to those not taking the treatment, according to the study.“We suggest that our anti-ageing therapy, which is currently in early-stage clinical trials for fibrotic lung disease, may provide an additional opportunity to inhibit ageing in older people,” said Professor Stuart Cook, of Imperial College London.
However, while it is possible that the drug could provide the elusive anti-ageing treatment scientists have been chasing so long, Professor Cook urged people not to get carried away by the prospect of a longer life.. “There’s lots of snake oil out there, so I try to stick to the data and they are the strongest out there.
