Scientists find a new way to extend lifespans by hundreds of years
Scientists researching aging have found a new way to extend the lifespans of living organisms. By manipulating cells they were able to quadruple the lifespan of a worm. In human years this equates to an extension of around 400 to 500 years. The technology still requires much research before it can be used on humans.
