The ability to reverse aging is something many people would hope to see in their lifetime. This is still a long way from reality, but in our latest experiment, we have reversed the aging of human cells, which could provide the basis for future anti-degeneration drugs.
Aging can be viewed as the progressive decline in bodily function and is linked with most of the common chronic diseases that humans suffer from, such as cancer, diabetes and dementia. There are many reasons why our cells and tissues stop functioning, but a new focus in the biology of ageing is the accumulation of “senescent” cells in the tissues and organs.
