National papers and radio cover rejuvenation research

Work published by Dr Diljeet Gill and Prof Wolf Reik describing their method for rejuvenating skin cells to behave more youthfully was reported across national newspapers. Dr Gill and Prof Reik were also interviewed about their findings for a number of radio programmes.

Their transient reprogramming method was able to turn back the biological clock of cells by 30 years. You can read the paper, published in eLife, or the Institute's news article, for more details. Some examples of coverage can be found below:
