>Scientists in Beijing have developed a new gene therapy which can reverse some of the effects of ageing in mice and extend their lifespans
>They identified 100 genes out of around 10,000, and kat7 was the most efficient at contributing to senescence in cells
>“These mice show after 6-8 months overall improved appearance and grip strength and most importantly they have extended lifespan for about 25%,”
A few questions.
1) How close is humanity to immortality?
2) How long can modern science push the average lifespan?
3) Will reverse aging or maintenance of youthfulness be achievable in our lifetime?
