科學家嘗試重組基因逆轉老化

科學家在小鼠細胞上進行基因重組實驗，成功使其壽命延長30％。目前此項研究尚不能應用於人體，但其成果有助於理解人類衰老。

The team showed that a new form of gene therapy produced a remarkable rejuvenating effect in mice. After six weeks of treatment, the animals looked younger, had straighter spines and better cardiovascular health, healed quicker when injured, and lived 30% longer.

Ageing process may be reversible, scientists claim
