Important finding: the mice didn't just live 25% longer - they were healthier in virtually every respect for that extended lifespan.
Still partially in mouse trials, but the drug is already being tested in humans for other purposes. This one may be more real than most?
Slightly click-baity headline: “Experts create anti-aging holy grail drug that extends life 25% and prevents cancer and gray hair” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13644081/Experts-anti-aging-extends-life.html
“In just 25 weeks following the therapy, the animals had a lower risk of cancer, no gray hair, improved vision and better muscle functionality. The treated mice had fewer cancers, and were free from the usual signs of ageing and frailty, but we also saw reduced muscle wasting and improvement in muscle strength.”

Professor Cook told the BBC that while the trial is not yet completed, the data has suggested that the drug is safe for humans.”
