The research which discovered that the expression of specific genes called Yamanaka factors, could convert adult cells into young cells. The Nobel Prize-winning discovery raised the question of whether it could be possible to reverse cellular ageing, without causing cells to become too young and turn cancerous. In the latest research, scientists screened for millions of combinations of molecules which could reverse cellular ageing and rejuvenate human cells. Six chemical cocktails were identified which restore ageing cells to their younger forms in less than a week. The team tested the cocktails on mice and human cells, with results showing de-ageing of all six combinations.
