induced pluripotent stem cells

iPSC are derived from skin or blood cells that have been reprogrammed back into an embryonic-like pluripotent state that enables the development of an unlimited source of any type of human cell needed for therapeutic purposes.

Study Demonstrates Age Reversal through Cellular Reprogramming with Chemical Cocktails – David Sinclair
A team of scientists from Harvard Medical School discovered a method to distinguish young cells from old and senescent cells in real time. This allowed them to quickly screen the effect of different molecules on cellular health. Using this method, they were able to identify 6 different combinations of molecules that can be used to “reset” the age of cells to a youthful, healthy state.
