Ageing research reviews

Using partial cell reprogramming to reverse aging and treat disease

Updated

Abstract

Partial reprogramming may help reset epigenetic age and reduce tumorigenic risks associated with full pluripotency.

  • Links partial reprogramming to measurable rejuvenation outcomes.
  • Defines mesenchymal drift as a reversible pathway related to aging and disease.
  • Explores alternatives to the OSKM factors, including small molecules and CRISPR techniques.
  • Surveys similar characteristics in various biological systems, focusing on enhanced tissue repair and regeneration.
  • Proposes a checklist for preclinical studies, highlighting the importance of schedule, delivery, and safety to facilitate early clinical applications.
