Genetically reprogramming biological clocks: one step closer to the Fountain of Youth

Abstract

Imagine telling explorers of the New World that the Fountain of Youth was hidden in their cells… That's probably what Kristen C. Browder's team could say after successfully reversing the biological clock of living mice. According to their results, the secrets of rejuvenation seem to be buried in the heart of each of our cells, in other words, in our genes.
