Could there finally be an end to grey hairs and wrinkles? According to an experiment carried out in California, researchers are able to reverse the aging process in mice, and trials in humans could start in 10 years.
Scientists from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California made older mice more youthful by using a new technique that takes adult cells back to an embryonic status. The findings of the study were published in the journal Cell.

As a result, mice looked younger and were able to live for 30 percent longer. Researchers stimulated four genes known to be extremely active while in the womb. The team was also able to make human skin cells younger in the lab.

It'd be funny if they get you looking younger then you die from cancer because they tampered with your DNA
Read the full article, its more interesting


There were concerns in the past, however, that carrying out the process could damage organs formed by the cells or even cause cancer, but the study found there were no damaging side effects in the reversed aging attempts if the genes were stimulated intermittently.
