Jean-Marc Lemaitre from Fonctionnelle Génomique Institute (INSERM / CNRS / Université de Montpellier) led the study, which could change our entire view of aging. The aged cells were “reprogrammed to be pluripotent stem cells in vitro – IPSC (Induced pluripotent stem cells), which have the youth and characteristics of embryonic stem cells (hESC).”

We just turned the corner of 7 billion people and many believe that we are reaching the tipping point in terms of depletion of resources and disease. The chart below are projections without scientific measures to reverse aging:
