How Rejuvenation of Old Cells can Slow Down Aging

Inactive senescent cells can now be rejuvenated to develop into new cells found a new study published in BMC Cell Biology journal. After a few hours of treatment, older cells had started to show signs of division and had longer telomeres- the ''caps'' on the chromosomes, which usually shortens as we age.

rejuvenation of old cells may slow down aging
- splicing genes get switched off progressively as we age
- chemicals such as reversatrol analogues can switch back these splicing factors
- rejuvenation can make the old cells look younger
