It seems inevitable: with age, our waistline thickens and our belly rounds out. But beyond the aesthetic aspect, this abdominal fat accelerates aging, slows our metabolism, and increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. American researchers have just discovered the cellular mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon.
Harvard scientists have launched a pioneering clinical trial seeking to reverse cellular aging through reprogramming techniques. The study will evaluate, for the first time in humans, the safety and potential of this approach to restore cellular functions that deteriorate over time. The image shows an experimental therapy that aims to rejuvenate optic nerve cells through epigenetic reprogramming, a line of research that has already begun its fir…
