How Aged Cells Revert to Stem Cells to Repair the BodyGeorge Citroner . Updated:
The body may have a hidden tissue repair trick up its sleeve.
Scientists have long assumed that once a tissue runs out of stem cells, the damage is permanent. New research out of Israel suggests otherwise. The body may be able to turn back the clock on its own aging cells, converting them into fresh stem cells to repair itself from within.
Researchers found that mature, aged cells in the cornea can revert into active stem cells to regenerate damaged tissue—a previously unknown way the human body heals itself.
If this research pans out, it could become a massive game-changer.
