Scientists hunt the elixir of life
Experts worldwide are going in search of the elixir of life.
They hope their five-year study will explain why some men and women live past 100 and others die prematurely without warning.
The Italian-based research - funded with £4.7million from the EU - will attempt to identify the genetic variations which hold off the ageing process. If succesful, it could pave the way for treatments as simple as an injection to boost life expectancy.
