Researchers are set to test a method to reverse cellular aging in humans, which could potentially restore eyesight to older adults with glaucoma and rejuvenate organs. The clinical trial, based on a discovery made seven years ago, will attempt to answer whether old cells can be safely made young again and reshape the concept of aging.
A new method to reverse cellular aging is about to be tested in humans. The approach involves introducing genes into cells to revert them to a younger state. Researchers have spent years developing this technique, which could potentially restore eyesight to older adults with glaucoma. The method is based on the discovery that adult cells can be reprogrammed to an embryonic-stem-cell-like state. A clinical trial is set to start this year to test the safety and efficacy of this approach. The trial will attempt to answer whether old cells can be safely made young again.
