Found this on another site. One certainly has to be circumspect on such things, particularly with the recent "cloning of a human" scandal fraud recently.

But, if it does have merit, I wonder if this molecule triggers yet another signaling pathway?

A team of South Korean scientists on Sunday claimed to have created a ``cellular fountain of youth,’’ or a small molecule, which enables human cells to avoid aging and dying.

``We also found the synthetic compound can reverse aging, by revitalizing already-lethargic cells. Theoretically, this can give youth to the elderly via rejuvenating cells,’’ the 41-year-old said.

Kim expected that the CGK733-empowered drugs that keep cells youthful far beyond their normal life span would be commercialized in less than 10 years.
