University of Bonn team reports signs of age reversal in blood cells without fully converting them into stem cellsMachine translation

Starting with blood cells from donors of different ages, researchers gradually guided the cells toward a younger state. In less than two months, one biomarker used to estimate cellular age showed a shift of up to 60 years. The mechanism remains unclear, and converting blood cells toward neuron-like cells may have exaggerated part of the measured reversal.
