One sees many of these kinds of papers about X or Y doing this or that incredible feat of life extension in mice. The problem is that aside from many of these papers possibly having some dubious methodology, the subjects are mice. That's some seriously different physiology and a whole pile of other biological differences, right down to the genetic level. Seems obvious, but many news stories about it seem to gloss over just how far a medical advance in mice is from anything resembling useful technology for humans.

Hell, if we could apply to humans all the therapies and treatments that have so far cured or at least helped with cancer, Parkinsons, dementia and aging itself in mice and rats, among other things, we'd long since have created a much easier time with these diseases.
