Scientists rejuvenated the skin of a 53-year-old woman to that of a 23-year-old's in a groundbreaking experiment

The UK team used a technique developed by Nobel Award winner Shinya Yamanaka, who turned "normal" cells into stem cells back in 2006.

Scientists rejuvenated the skin of a 53-year-old woman to that of a 23-year-old's in a groundbreaking experiment​

• Babraham Institute in Cambridge announced on Thursday researchers had successfully rejuvenated skin cells.
• Scientists reprogrammed adult skin cells to look and behave 30 years younger than the original.
• The technique cannot be taken to a clinic yet because previous studies have found it may increase the risk for cancer.

A team in the Babraham Institute in Cambridge has successfully rejuvenated a 53-year-old woman's skin cells to look and behave like a 23-year-old's, the research center announced on Thursday.

I imagine this could be catastrophic for general health, imagine your body being forced to run processes it has long since abandoned because they were no longer energetically viable, cancer inducing indeed.

The article is really vague. Could very well be clickbait to promote the gene centric dogma of the mainstream. It says the cells look younger, not her skin. Whatever that means it’s probably not what they are insinuating. What healthy young behaving cell would be more prone to cancer?

To be honest I haven't even read the article, oops. I am refering to the remaining cells that have been unchanged. If our bodies age due to metabolic deficiency and we jerry rig parts of our aged body to perform as it did in a more optimal state I imagine that would create a considerable tax on the rest of that bodies systems?

there's probably a significant hurdle to overcome when you have to regenerate the structure (wrinkles etc) and not just the epigenetic programming of the cells

Can anyone program the cells of my jawline to look & behave like Henry Cavill's one day too? ?

If they can rejuvate any cells, then that shoudn't be a issue.

The vanity and narcism out there today means they could sell it with potential cancer side effects.
