Blood from 80-year-old donor reprogrammed into youthful stem cells

Original: Blood cells from 80-year-old donor become stem cells with molecular age under 20

Researchers report that blood cells taken from an 80-year-old donor can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells whose molecular age measures under 20 years. The study, published in Aging Cell, suggests the reprogramming process effectively resets age-related epigenetic marks, reviving interest in cellular rejuvenation as a possible route to treating age-related disease.

Why now: The finding that cellular reprogramming can erase decades of molecular aging is striking and fuels debate about rejuvenation therapies.
