    OLD MICE LIVED LONGER AND WERE LESS FRAILMouse and lab dish study

    Boosting one protein left old mice less frail and living 14% longer

    A Harvard-led team found a protein that makes old human skin cells look younger in the lab. In about 20 old mice, raising it cut frailty and lengthened median life.
