The robust mouse rejuvenation study is ongoing. Basically they took a lot of mice and threw the kitchen sink of promising age reversing therapies at them: https://www.levf.org/projects/robust-mouse-rejuvenation-study-1 https://www.levf.org/projects/robust-mouse-rejuvenation-stud...
Just off the top of my head, I think the longest they ever got a mouse to live in a study was the C-60 study where they wanted to test whether it was toxic and the mouse lived almost twice their normal lifespan. This paper has been cited over 300 times, so it's not like people haven't taken notice of it. There are a few supplement companies selling c-60 olive oil too:

"Here we show that oral administration of C60 dissolved in olive oil (0.8 mg/ml) at reiterated doses (1.7 mg/kg of body weight) to rats not only does not entail chronic toxicity but it almost doubles their lifespan"

- punkpeye 1y agoDid we manage to accidentally make something live twice as long and then abandon efforts to replicate the results?
