India, April 27 -- A new scientific breakthrough has sparked global interest after researchers identified a unique protein in whales that could potentially transform how humans age. The study, led by scientists at the University of Rochester and published in Nature, suggests that understanding this protein may one day help humans significantly extend their lifespan-possibly even approaching 200 years.
