A mix of drugs has doubled the lifespan in nematode worms
A cocktail of three different anti-aging drugs, already known but never used in combination, has almost doubled the life span in a known biological model. The nematode worms (Caenorhabditis elegans) treated with the mix not only have obtained the greater longevity record drug induced ever observed in the animal world, but also looked to extend the period in which they remained in good health and without any side effects. Research of the National University of Singapore and of the Yale-NUS College was published in Developmental Cell.
