I just figured out last weekend that when the Transhuman said he was at that rest home because he was waiting for Mitch Shelly, it wasn't because of Mitch's resurrection ability. It was because of the work we saw Mitch doing in the flashback in issue 5. An injection that enables one to heal from almost any wound* would sound promising to someone aging rapidly.
I'm not sure if what the Body Doubles have is what he needs. The compound, whatever it is, might simply perceive his aged body as being in a natural state, with nothing that needs fixing. Which could be a horrible twist for the Transhuman if he later did find a real reversal. He takes it, and the earlier compound registers the changes the true cure is trying to make, and blocks them. He might find himself not aging any further, which isn't terrible, since he's still young and healthy enough to be in full possession of his faculties, but he also couldn't get his body back to the appearance he desires.
* Does it work on illnesses? Can you stop Carmen and Bonnie with Spanish influenza, or would their bodies quickly overwhelm that, too?
