Has anyone already come up with a method to exted the human lifespan use gene-therapy?

Has there been any publications on extending the lifespan of human beings via genetic engineering?

2. IN the study of human aging There are many complex genetic, cellular and extracellular issues that are not well understood and currently scientists have no solutions for at this time: Seven deadly sins of Aging in Humans: 1. Cell loss, cell atrophy 2. Nuclear [epi]mutations (only cancer matters) WILT (Whole-body Interdiction of Lengthening of Telomeres) 3. Mutant mitochondria Allotopic expression of 13 proteins 4. Death-resistant cells -Cell ablation, reprogramming 5. Extracellular crosslinks -AGE-breaking molecules/enzymes 6. Extracellular junk -Phagocytosis; beta-breakers 7. Intracellular junk -Transgenic microbial hydrolases
3. hmmm....no official findings on the use of gene-therapy but there are proposals on using plasmids gene which codes for telomerase. Telomerase increase the length of telomeres, which continuously depleting after each cellular division. The shortening of telomeres leads to cell aging and apoptosis. However, uncontrolled use of telomerase results in infinite cell division, causing cancer. So far, to extend life by gene-therapy is still under way.
4. No. Genetic engineering would not likely be the way to go for this anyways, pharmacological intervention looks much more promising based on research with mice and worms. Still a bit to go though for anything in humans, at least 5 years before anything might happen in human clinical trials.
