Researchers at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine have extended the lifespan of mice by 25% with a breakthrough new treatment involving systematically removing senescent cells, i.e a category of living, but stagnant cells (ones which can no longer reproduce). Treatment is also slowing age-related diseases like cataracts and heart disease. Now a new biotech company called Unity Biotechnology wants to move this over to humans. http://www.popularmechanics.com/sci...-expand-the-lifespan-of-mice-are-humans-next/
