Emmm...... no. Yes.

Title is total linkbait, article is old. But the science is cool (overexpress chaperone molecules in liver, increase traffic to lysosomes even in old mice).

What's a good HN denizen to do? How about add a link to something a little less fluffy, from the lab the research came from?

here's the pubmed link too: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18690243


article is old

no, they stopped the aging process of the article too.


Brilliant! I saw a TED video on this in the past.

Amazing Stuff!


Mice can now drink as much as they want...

On a more serious note when will this be tried on human livers?


If you're a mouse, you are all set. If half this stuff would work in people....
