Researchers (Jean-Louis Lemaitre, Inserm researcher at the Institute of Functional Genomica of Montpellier) said that reprogramming human adult cells is possible.
They could reprogram human adult cells into pluripotent stem cells with properties similar to embryonic stem cells. Cells of all types can again be differentiated
after this genuine "rejuvenation" therapy.
The results were published in Journal Genes & Development, 1 November, 2011.
