Scientists find forever young drug
LONDON: Scientists have claimed to have unlocked the secret of eternal youth in mice which they say could pave the way for a forever young drug for humans soon. The landmark research on mice led by Ronald DePinho of Harvard University found that the effects of ageing can be successfully reversed. Before the study,the skin,brains and organs of the rodents resembled those of an 80-year-old person. But,two months of being given a drug that switches on a key enzyme,they had grown so many new cells that they had almost completely rejuvenated. Male mice went from being infertile to fathering litters,the Daily Mail reported.
