Stem cell technique winds back aging in human cells

Stanford scientists may have found a way to essentially return older cells to a more youthful state. The adult cells are treated with a mix of proteins from early embryonic development, which removes many of the molecular signs of aging. The cells clos… Continue reading Stem cell technique winds back aging in human cells
