Scientists administer first gene therapy to rejuvenate human cells

Scientists administer first gene therapy to rejuvenate human cells For the first time, a patient has received a gene-based treatment intended to reverse characteristics of cellular aging, returning old cells to a more youthful state without converting them into stem cells. The therapy is part of a clinical study led by Life Biosciences that focuses on individuals with glaucoma. The objective is to regenerate optic nerve cells damaged by the disease. A key question remains whether cellular rejuvenation techniques can be applied safely in humans. This trial represents an initial step in exploring the potential for therapeutic reversal of age-related changes in biology. 📰 @aipost
