1. Headline ends in "?". The answer is "no".
2. Longevity breakthrough discovered in mice. Mice biology doesn't bother picking the low hanging fruit of longevity. Said breakthrough picks some of that low hanging fruit. Chances are near-certainty it won't work in humans.

- Retric 9y agoIt might sound that way, but it's really not difficult to rejuvenate mice. The metabolic burden associated with living longer is not worth it for wild mice.
