Partial cellular reprogramming reverses skin cell age by up to 30 years
Partial cellular reprogramming is the technique used. Researchers reported reversing the biological age of human skin cells by up to 30 years. The method changed cells aged 53 years to appear 23 years old.
Key points
Age reduction: up to 30 years reversal of biological age.
Age conversion: 53‑year‑old cells became 23‑year‑old cells.
