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.

According to Dr. Alan Boss, our Milky Way galaxy could contain one hundred billion Earth-like planets. However, he says very few of these planets would be able to support intelligent life. But, what about primitive (microscopic) life?

The question of drinking water for a longer and healthier life has been suggested in the scientific community for many years. However, it's not regular water they are talking about, but heavy water (deuterated water) that’s the key to this research into a possible 'fountain of youth.'
