We know it's not just DNA mutations, but you're conflating that with curing aging. More intelligent octopuses live for shorter periods of time, as do cuttlefish. The gene makes them intelligent as well as die sooner. Their species doesn't need long lifespans and it also isn't aging unnaturally long. Humans can age longer because they delay death at the cost of their genetic coding. Unless you're stopping this sooner rather than later it will be for nothing. Unfortunately the person I considered an expert on this is now blacklisted. He was more interested in reversing aging rather than delaying these effects, by removing all the mitochondria. Have you looked into the mitomouse?
