Another big thing coming out with longevity research is telomerase therapy to protwct and regenerate telomeres... the "protective caps" at the end of our chromosomes. Rats were genetically modified to not produce telomerase and they aged rapidly. After administering telomerase, most of the signs of severe aging were reversed. Some peptide companies are starting to carry these.
As far as I know there was only that one Russian study and it was never able to be reproduced clinically.
