The discovery of ways to induce pluripotency of stem cells has allowed the advancement of stem cell, embryo, and organoid research. However, while pluripotency can be induced, the reversal of aging has proved more difficult. A group of researchers has claimed to have discovered cocktails of chemicals that reverse aging in cells. According to other researchers, the markers used to measure this could be an important breakthrough. One of the most significant breakthroughs in biology in the past 2 decades was the discovery of how to induce stem cells to regain their pluripotency . Stem cells are cells that are able to change into many different cells, and this process allows cells and tissues in the body to replace cells that have died or create cells needed in response to certain conditions, such as immune cells. Being able t...
