News Oct 15, 2026 Single gene rejuvenates aged cells and extends mouse lifespan Harvard researchers identified SRSF1, an RNA splicing factor, as a geroprotective target that reverses multiple hallmarks of aging in human cells and extends median lifespan by 14% in mice. The study demonstrates a safer alternative to Yamanaka factor reprogramming by rejuvenating cells without erasing their identity. Giulio Prisco 2 min read
News Oct 12, 2026 Blood cells can be reprogrammed into younger brain stem cells German scientists have converted blood cell precursors directly into neural stem cells, achieving cellular rejuvenation that turns back epigenetic clocks by up to six decades. The gradual, prolonged nature of this transformation provides an unprecedented experimental model for studying the biology of aging. Giulio Prisco 2 min read
