Can humans be extended to 500 years?
Humans may be able to live for between 120 and 150 years, but no longer than this “absolute limit” on human life span, a new study suggests. If therapies were to be developed to extend the body’s resilience, the researchers argue, these may enable humans to live longer, healthier lives.
Is there a limit to how long human life spans can be extended?
A new study suggests there may be a hard limit on human longevity, reports Live Science’s Rebecca Sohn. That upper limit, according to the study published this week in the journal Nature Communications, is somewhere between 120 and 150 years old.

How long will humans live in the future?

Could humans live to 500 years old?
Humans could live to 500 years old according to new research YOU’RE gonna need a bigger birthday cake. Why worms hold the key to a new scientific breakthrough that could lead to humans living to 500 years old.
Are there any drugs that extend lifespan?
A number of drugs that extend healthy lifespan by altering these pathways are now under development. The discovery of the synergistic effect opens the door to even more effective anti-aging therapies.
How much longer do double-mutants live?
The new research uses a double mutant in which the insulin signaling (IIS) and TOR pathways have been genetically altered. Because alteration of the IIS pathways yields a 100 percent increase in lifespan and alteration of the TOR pathway yields a 30 percent increase, the double mutant would be expected to live 130 percent longer.
