Scientists have developed a new technology that can reverse ageing and rejuvenate human cells, an advance that may help treat progeria - a disorder that causes children to age too quickly. While advances have been made to slow down ageing in humans, true age-reversal at a cellular level remains difficult to achieve. If the benefit of this research will extend to general person also then it will be a revolutionary research because then we shall remain young.
Researchers at Houston Methodist Research Institute in the US studied cells from children with progeria, a rare condition marked by rapid ageing that usually robs them of the chance to live beyond their early teens. "We wanted to do something that would improve the children's quality of life and potentially allow them to live longer, so we set about studying their cells and seeing if we could improve the cell function," said…
