Apress release issued in 2016 stated that her experiment had wound back the clock 20 years, while apaper published last year claims that, thanks to subsequent gene therapy treatments, Parrish now apparently has abiological age of 25..
Work carried out by Maria Blasco, director of the Spanish National Cancer Research Center in Madrid,shows that mice given injections of transporter viruses loaded with telomerase genes not only experience healthier aging with less disease, but also live longera heady 25 percent longer..
