Could we live as old as Rapamycin-injected mice?
Written By: William Atkins
Section: Science
Category: Biology
2009-07-09 08:27:32
A drug called Rapamycin is injected into humans to help lessen the rejection of a new organ. However, U.S. scientists found that it significantly extends the lifespan of invertebrates, and now mammals (mice). They are excited because further research may produce a way to delay the onset of cancer and other aging disease and, thus, produce longer lives in humans.
