This is huge. First real step toward reversing human aging.
"Scientists are now testing a method that can reset the biological age of cells in humans for the first time."
"The therapy uses three reprogramming genes, OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4 (OSK) to restore youthful gene activity without turning cells into stem cells."
"Unlike full reprogramming, this approach avoids using c-MYC, reducing the risk of uncontrolled cell growth and cancer."
"The treatment, called ER-100, has received FDA clearance and is entering Phase 1 human trials."
"The first targets are age-related eye diseases like glaucoma and optic nerve damage."
"In animal studies, the same approach restored vision by rejuvenating damaged nerve cells."
"Instead of treating symptoms, this method attempts to reset the epigenetic clock, the root cause of cellular aging."
