Scientists successfully transferred a longevity gene, paving the way to extend human lifespan.

Yes, it's true based on a University of Rochester study published yesterday. They transferred the naked mole rat HAS2 gene (boosting high-molecular-weight hyaluronan) into mice. Results: 4.4% longer median lifespan, fewer tumors, reduced inflammation, better gut health. It's proof-of-principle for healthier aging—next steps are drugs to mimic this in humans, not gene editing yet. Cool breakthrough!
