Apparently scientists at Harvard and Australia have succeeded in reversing symtpoms of aging in mice. According to Russia Today human trials for this process may begin within a few years.,
This may or may not be overhyped but a quick Google search brings up a dozen or so articles on this,
Mice have become the first creatures to experience the ‘Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ for real, as Australian and American scientists have managed to literally reverse their ageing process. And they say humans could be next in line.
The discovery is centered on a compound that is like a youth elixir, targeting and reversing muscle aging, building up muscle tone and reducing inflammation and giving mice more energy – as if they have been working out in the gym. Likewise, resistance to insulin was targeted, adding diabetes to an already impressive list of age-related diseases that could soon be fought, like neurodegenerative conditions and cancers.
