Stem cells can become any cell in the body. As people get older, both the number and effectiveness of stem cells significantly decrease. This decline is one of the reasons why the body's ability to heal diminishes as we age.

So, imagine the possibilities if we could turn our regular cells back to stem cells - and wiping all their memories so that they are true stem cells.

This is what scientists now have achieved. This essentially means that we now could have an unlimited supply of stem cells which can be used in regenerative medicine and to regenerate healthy tissue and organs as we age.

This is one of many groundbreaking developments happening in regenerative medicine now.
