Research from the Babraham Institute has developed a method to"time jump" human skin cells by 30 years, turning back the aging clock for cells without losing their specialized function. Work by researchers in the Institute's Epigenetics research program has been able to partly restore the function of older cells, as well as rejuvenating the molecular measures of biological age.
In 2007, Shinya Yamanaka was the first scientist to turn normal cells, which have a specific function, intowhich have the special ability to develop into any cell type. The full process of stem cell reprogramming takes around 50 days using four key molecules called the Yamanaka factors. The new method, called"maturation phase transient reprogramming," exposes cells to Yamanaka factors for just 13 days.
