Removal of interleukin-11 improves health and extends mouse lifespan by up to 24%.
you could imagine this to become part of the whole armamentarium that we have against aging.
uh yes and they're actually recently was contacted by a company that has another uh novel inhibitors of of IL11 you could imagine this to become part of the whole armamentarium that we have against aging.
