I find myself a little sceptical of articles on a website called "extreme longevity", to be honest...
... also, skimming the linked paper, the largest sample I see is "sixty rats randomly divided into 10 groups of 6 rats". I'm not sure if that's really large enough to draw any solid conclusions, and I don't see any P-values for the lifespan data -- but I freely admit I'm neither any kind of biologist nor a stats expert, so I may be talking rubbish.

- polyfractal 15y agoWell, it was published in a real journal (Biomaterials) with an impact factor of 7.882. So the research is theoretically peer-reviewed and solid, in that the paper itself isn't just making things up.
