Scientists Reversed 60 Years of Cellular Aging. Can It Work in Humans?

Scientists in Germany took blood cells from an 80-year-old and made them register as younger than 20. More than 60 years of molecular aging appeared to disappear in a laboratory dish. The discovery raises a question that researchers and investors are spending billions to answer. Could the same science eventually make aging human tissues young again? Anti-Aging: The Next Evolution of Tech? At the University of Bonn, researchers converted immature blood cells directly into neural stem cells, which can develop into brain cells. They then measured their age using epigenetic clocks, which track chemical changes to DNA associated with aging. The clocks showed a remarkable reversal. More importantly, researchers could watch it happen. Earlier techniques had reset cellular age rapidly by passing through an intermediate stem-cell stage.
