Longevity Breakthrough: New Treatment Extends Lifespan and Enhances Physical Function

A monthly treatment can not only extend the lifespan of mice but also help them maintain good health and vitality well into old age.
Researchers found that removing certain inflammation-causing cells from mice every month, starting in their middle age, not only extended their lifespans but also improved their heart health and overall physical function throughout their lives. This method shows promise for extending the period of good health as mice age, potentially pointing to new aging treatments for humans.

Everyone wants to live to a ripe old age, but no one wants to be decrepit. Now, University of Connecticut researchers have demonstrated a treatment that could lengthen life—and vigor—up to the very end.
