Deterioration of the liver can be prevented by improving the way it rids itself of toxins, scientists have found. Mice given a double dose of a gene involved in the “detoxing” process had the livers of striplings, even when they reached the mouse equivalent of 80 years old. Although the technique used is impracticable for improving human health, it could point the way to drugs that would have the same effect.
