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
