eliminate much of the aging process during that extended life so you're not there that rats are not only living

longer but they're living younger longer and this is significant because this is

they're now doing early stage clinical trials for fibrotic lung disease with this drug but if so if it turns out to be true it'll have

greater effects across the board and that's something to take attention to.

Exo-Plant it was an eccentric orbit how eccentric Bob? The most eccentric. This is an exoplanet that
