Stem cells could hold key to 'stopping ageing' say scientists after successful mouse trial

Stem cells could hold key to 'stopping ageing' say scientists after successful mouse trial | Mail Online: "Stem cells can halt ageing - and even prolong lifespans up to three times, scientists say.

An experiment proved that a single injection of stem cells could make mice live three times as long.

The injection also made the mice grow bigger and stronger.

Scientists think that studying the proteins within stem cells might hold the key to injections that offer a 'shot of youthful vigour' to human beings.

The researchers, from the University of Pittsburgh,say further research could help us hold off the ageing process altogether."
