Scientists have turned blood cells from an 80-year-old into neural stem cells with a molecular age of less than 20, effectively reversing more than 60 years of cellular aging in the laboratory. The discovery offers a new way to investigate how cells become younger and could help researchers better understand age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's.

    The journal article: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acel.70751

    I don’t understand much of it, but it reads to me as incremental progress having to do with gene expression but not age related dysfunction. Hopefully somebody with a better understanding can clarify it.
