Abstract: All known methods to increase lifespan come at a price. Usually, the costs are problems in development and fertility. But mutant mice have now been generated that live almost one-third longer than normal yet with no apparent side effects. These mice contain mutations in the gene that encodes a protein called p66shc, which is thought to be involved in the response to oxidative DNA damage.
