Maybe I missed this, but 2 weeks in fruit flies and 3 months in mice probably translates into something much longer in humans, on the order of a year or two maybe, if not longer? That's a pretty long time to be on an immune-suppressing drug with pretty significant side effects.
It's still an important bit of information if it replicates, but I think it might not be as clinically practical as it sounds from the press release.
Not just the quantity of extended time, but the quality of that time matters too. Even if life wasn't extended a day but one had greater vigor/vitality/cognition it would still likely be a worthy pursuit.
