>It seems too good to be true, but biochemist Jesús Gil speaks enthusiastically from his laboratory in London. “There is no reason to think that what we have seen in mice will not work in people,” he says. What they have observed in rodents is verging on the miraculous: a team of scientists has given monthly injections of a simple antibody to mice that are almost 18 months old, an age equivalent to 55 human years. These animals have lived up to 25% longer than their peers and in good health, with lower incidence of cancer, less cholesterol, and greater muscle strength. It is as if human life expectancy had skyrocketed to 104 years, instead of the current 83 in Spain, for example.
