‘Researchers have rejuvenated a 53-year-old woman’s skin cells so they are the equivalent of a 23-year-old’s.
The scientists in Cambridge believe that they can do the same thing with other tissues in the body.’
This wouldn’t be the first step to counteract aging, I remember a couple years ago a American had telomere gene therapy and it did wonders for how she looked.
I expect this kind of research to ramp up massively as countries like China progress towards their own silver tide of demographic shift towards too many OAPs to handle.
I want to see what she looks like though why wouldn’t they show that
As far as i can tell it is in vitro. Not gonna hunt for the paper since it’s not linked. Also, its eLife, decent but not stellar journal. My guess is not groundbreaking like the title suggests.
Great, live longer and healthier so you can work longer and suffer for someone else’s profits OR this only gets used by the richest people so they can horde wealth and rule over people longer.

This isn’t a good thing either way.
