« A new study by researchers at the University of California San Diego, Stanford University and other institutions has found that tiny sea creatures might hold the secret to reversing the aging process. The team found that when treated with a brief series of electrical pulses, sea squirts experience dramatic and long-lasting health improvements that can significantly extend their lifespans. »

>However, the researchers caution that it will take additional experiments to demonstrate the potential of the approach in humans, as well as to understand its underlying biology
So more of a curiosity with no real breakthroughs yet?
