Partial cellular reprogramming can revert ecells back to a youthful state, at least partially reversing epigenetic alterations, one of the reasons we age. The race is now on to make it work in people.

A number of therapies that directly target the aging processes are currently in human trials and could change medicine significantly in the next decade if the results are positive.
We are so sad to learn that Prof. Judith Campisi has passed. We had the great honor of working with her on many occasions & she was always such a kind & wonderful person. Her contribution to aging research & pioneering work in cellular senescence is legendary. She will be missed.

Caloric restriction is a powerful life-extending intervention. Yet, the key might not be the number of calories, but their source.
New research in mice 🐭reports that a massive 33% increase in median lifespan can be achieved by isoleucine restriction.
