In addition, it has been reported that
median lifespan extension in CR heterozygote SIRT1 (±) mice was identical (51 %) to that observed in wild - type mice, but SIRT1 (±) mice displayed a higher frequency of certain pathologies 13 highlighting its important role in age - related diseases.
The mouse
lifespan study is the important news here, as it demonstrates meaningful
extension of
median life span through removal of senescent cells, the first such study carried out in normal mice for this SENS - style rejuvenation technology.
