Pathways that extend lifespan by 500 percent identified
- PaulHoule 7y agoI am skeptical of this kind of animal study, at least as it related to human health. Humans already have much better longevity than other animals. Other mammals have a lifespan of about 1 billion heartbeats, but humans live for about 4 billion heartbeats. It seems likely that our longevity pathways are already pretty well developed. That doesn't mean they can't be improved, but you're likely to have better luck extending the life of a dog, cat, or rat than a human with a drug cocktail of some kind than you will humans.
