MAJOR NEWS: A groundbreaking experiment has reversed age in mice 🐁

Last week, Rejuvenate Bio successfully extended the lifespan of old mice.

What’s going on?

A new research study was posted in the Cellular Reprogramming journal.

The study took aged mice (comparable to 80+ year-old human beings) then using a technique called partial reprogramming they doubled the remaining lifespan the mice had left while simultaneously reversing age-related changes.

This means not only did they increase lifespan but they also potentially reversed aging of mice.

You can see this in the fancy chart below.

• The blue line shows the ages of death of mice which had the treatment

• The black & grey line show mice without the treatment

• The blue line being further to the right than the black line shows the treatment extended the age of mice

Why should I care?

Mice are used in experiments because genetically they are similar to humans.

The study shows we can potentially reverse aging and get old mice to live longer.

This could be a Holy Grail proof of concept for ultimately developing treatments that reverse age and increase lifespan in humans.
