The previous attempts to reverse aging in cells have been focused on returning the cell to a more stem-cell like state. This new technique takes an entirely different path. By overexpressing, or exciting the NANOG protein, scientists were able to reverse age related degradation of the cell and increase their own DNA repair mechanisms. This could help lead to new treatments or therapies that help reverse cellular senescence, and aid many people suffering from age-related disorders, says the study’s corresponding author.Read Long Article
