Can skin cells reverse their age?

Researchers say they've discovered a way to do just that in skin cells: to reverse their age so they look and behave like cells that are 30 years younger. Read on to find out how they did it—and how Dolly the sheep is involved—and what the implications could be for the future of aging.

Can DNA reverse aging?

Fifteen years ago, scientists made a stirring discovery when they demonstrated that they could reverse the process of aging in cells. By activating a set of four factors in the DNA, they reset the cell’s clock to zero, reverting adult cells to their embryonic state.

Can We reverse aging?

“It’s a permanent reset, as far as we can tell, and we think it may be a universal process that could be applied across the body to reset our age,” said Sinclair, who has spent the last 20 years studying ways to reverse the ravages of time. “If we reverse aging, these diseases should not happen.

Could a new research halt the aging process?

New research can halt the reverse-aging process at the precise moment before the cell reverts to its embryonic form, turning its clock back 30 years. Fifteen years ago, scientists made a stirring discovery when they demonstrated that they could reverse the process of aging in cells.
