Science rejuvenates woman's skin cells to 30 years younger - BBC News

Researchers have rejuvenated a 53-year-old woman's skin cells so they are the equivalent of a 23-year-old's.

Scientists in Cambridge believe that they can do the same thing with other tissues in the body which could lead to treatments for age-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and neurological disorders.

The technology is built on the techniques used to create Dolly the cloned sheep more than 25 years ago.

I wonder if this technology could be used to help burn and acid victims? Such as applying it to the skin grafts they have applied on those areas? Or perhaps to make the skin more pliable for healthier healing?

a girl at my high school had a eczema skin condition that spread over her whole body hopefully this can bring her some well deserved happiness

Whilst this is great news, we hear about Science breakthroughs on a regular basis for a wide selection of different things. Yet we rarely seem to hear much more on them in the years that follow. It tends to be a news story for a day or three..followed by not much else. That's how it seems anyway. It would be nice for things like this to be followed up on in the years to come to actually know where it went from here and how it ended up being used.

This is great news for age related brain issues like memory and attention loss. Get this on point and Release something now please. We have parents and grand parents who need this. 🙏🏽

0:47: They also failed to say that this scientist is actually 112 years old.

[MiSt]

I'm 23 years old, hopefully when I'm 53 the tech will be so advanced that Ill be able to be 23 again! haha

I pray they one day cure old age.

Being old and weak sucks.

Go science!

There's some crucial negatives that come from reversing the ages of certain cells. Particularly because cells build on top of each other over a long duration of time, such treatment would raise the propensity for proliferation of more out-of-control cell dividing, VisaVie cancerous cells.

[wjrasmussen]

The whole time I was wondering about the cancer risk.

This was only tested on a cell culture. Would love to see the results on actual living tissue.

Would love to try this, my skin looks about 25 years older than I am due to severe eczema, a long bout of topical steroid withdrawal and general use of steroids that I'd been told to apply to my face. Breaks my heart every day. This gives me hope!

Age reversal was discovered few years ago and used to rejuvenate eye retina for old lady.

[Pyramid]

they could probably use this to replace small damage tissue like cartilages in the back or joint. Great for elderly. But probably expensive

[sgraham]

WOW! The possibilities are endless. I wonder if this could work for brain, nerve, and organ cells? Can’t wait to see where this goes.

[SilverFank]

BBC please make further videos about longevity science

[thestoryofscience]

From all the beautiholic girls: A big THANK YOU!
keep researching please and make these techniques economical to reach the masses

[ellebelle]

Please let this become a treatment option for everyone

[dannyocean]

doing it to cells is FAR FA FAR different than making the body do it as a whole

[fanciifrog]

Its amazing what science researchers can accomplish!

[mediacrop]

Does this now mean all aged people can look 20 forever. Wow... imagine the possibilities!
