Scientists Reverse Biological Age in Human Cells

Researchers have successfully reversed markers of aging in human cells, bringing us closer to potential anti-aging therapies. ## The Approach Using a combination of reprogramming factors, scientists reset cellular aging clocks without returning cells to an embryonic state that could cause cancer. ## Measured Results Treated cells showed biological ages 10-20 years younger than their actual age, with improved function and reduced inflammation markers. ## Safety Progress Previous reprogramming attempts often caused cancer. This new partial reprogramming approach appears to avoid that risk. ## Path to Treatment While human trials are years away, these results suggest that age-related diseases could eventually be treated by reversing underlying cellular aging.
