When you hear about revolutionary new techniques that can reverse the aging process of skin cells, it’s usually an ad and it’s usually bullshit. I’m sorry to tell you this, but there’s no serum that can actually overpower the natural laws of time and gravity. There is, however, a new scientific technique that can make skin cells younger — and the potential applications are anything but superficial.
This revolutionary new research, which was published last week in the journal ELife Sciences, utilized the scientific methods used to create stem cells to effectively turn back the clock on skin cells in a lab. In case you aren’t up on your rejuvenative biological history, a scientist named Yamaka discovered how to make cells into stem cells, cells that are capable of becoming any kind of cell, in 2007.
