Breakthrough Drug Extends Lifespan of 'Supermodel Granny' Animals

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have developed a drug that extends the lifespan of laboratory animals by up to 25%. Dubbed "supermodel grannies" due to their youthful appearance, treated mice exhibited enhanced health, strength, and reduced cancer rates compared to their untreated counterparts. The drug, currently undergoing human trials, holds promise for potentially slowing down ageing in humans. This breakthrough underscores the ongoing quest to manipulate biological processes to enhance lifespan. Researchers targeted interleukin-11, a protein that increases with age and contributes to inflammation, successfully extending lifespan in genetically engineered mice and older mice given the drug. These findings suggest a new approach in ageing research, aiming to translate these results into therapies that promote healthier and longer lives in humans.
