Previously known to be achieved only via powerful gene therapy, scientists have used a chemical approach to reprogram cells to a younger state. The team also developed and utilized novel screening methods including a quantitative nucleocytoplasmic compartmentalization assay (NCC) that can distinguish between young, old, and senescent cells.
“Until recently, the best we could do was slow aging. New discoveries suggest we can now reverse it,” David A. Sinclair, the lead researcher and the first author of the study, who is somewhat of a controversial figure, said in a statement.
