Scientists in the US have discovered a chemical that reverses aging
Researchers have opened a new front in the battle against ageing and diseases associated with aging. A team of Harvard Medical School scientists conducted the study that published the first chemical method to reprogram cells into a youthful state. This was previously only possible with a powerful form of gene therapy.
The team’s discoveries are based on the discovery that expression of specific genetic factors called Yamanaka Factors could convert adult stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The Nobel Prize-winning research raised the question whether it was possible to reverse cell aging without making cells too young or cancerous.
