Experimental Drugs Boost Elderly Immune Systems, Raising Hopes For Anti-Aging Effects
Two drugs appear to support immune function of elderly people and may be important for future research into anti-aging treatments.
Scientists on the hunt for anti-aging drugs say they've made an advance with tantalizing potential: Two experimental drugs appear to safely boost the immune systems of elderly humans.
The researchers stress that more research is needed to confirm the findings and show the drugs are safe. And at least one researcher says the findings are based on a relatively small number of people and used methods that could produce misleading results.
Still, many researchers say the findings are encouraging.
