    1. Scientists in Europe have tested an anti-aging drug cocktail in mice and found that it extended the animals‘ lifespans by around 30 percent. The mice stayed healthier for longer too, with less chronic inflammation and delayed cancer onset.

      The two drugs are rapamycin and trametinib, which are both used to treat different types of cancer. Rapamycin is also often used to prevent organ rejection, and has shown promise in extending lifespans in animal tests. Trametinib, meanwhile, has been shown to extend the lifespan of fruit flies, but whether that worked in larger animals remained to be seen.

      So for a new study, a research team led by scientists from the Max Planck Institute in Germany investigated how both drugs, on their own and together, could extend lifespan in mice.

      True to its reputation, rapamycin alone was found to extend the lifespan of mice by 17 to 18 percent. Trametinib wasn’t too bad either, boosting longevity by 7 to 16 percent. But when their powers combined, treated mice saw a significant lifespan extension of around 26 to 35 percent.

      Just imagine the interest bankers will be able to collect to support lifestyles of people who now live 30% longer

    3. Is there a reason to continue life extension research? It’ll just be used by the rich to get richer longer while common people will never see it and who wants to live longer in a doomed world? We all know people like Elon musk, Donald trump, Jeff bezos, etc will happily exclusive access to it to ruin the USA longer so I’m against it unless there is 100% insurance it will not be used for evil.

      I dont care about living longer. I just dont want alzheimer/dementia or another horrible illness while Im alive. Can we focus on that first, and *then* extend my lifespan.

      New research found mice drinking a French 75 at least once per day lived longer, more sophisticated lives.

      Unless they can extend the 20-60 age range by 30%, this seems like it’s extending a less than ideal quality of life.

      Humans are already falling apart by 60-70, extend that 30% and I fear that things would only get worse.

      It was bound to happen someday. Every illness has a cure. Only death is irreversible.
