New Gene Therapy Treatment Increases Mice Life Span 24 Percent

The fountain of youth may be only a gene therapy treatment away.

Scientists have successfully extended the life span of mice up to 24 percent with a single treatment of gene therapy. Studies have shown it's possible to lengthen the life span of mammals by acting on specific genes, but that was limited to gene alteration in the embryonic stage. By inducing cells to produce telomerase, the enzyme that effectively slows down the biological clock by repairing the tips of a cell's chromosomes, the study "shows that it is possible to develop a telomerase-based anti-aging gene therapy without increasing the incidence of cancer."

While aging itself is not considered a disease, the treatment could help fight insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease in older patients. The big question is, when can we get it in over-the-counter form, for three easy payments of $19.99?
