Scientists in Germany have discovered a method that can significantly reduce the molecular age of human cells. They converted the blood cells of an 80-year-old individual into neural stem cells, whose molecular age markers corresponded to those of a person younger than 20 years.
ISNA is a semi-official Iranian news agency (Iranian Students News Agency). This is a translation of that outlet's own report; it is the outlet's account, not Artesh's finding.
