Age Reduction Breakthrough
Posted on May 11, 2020

"If you eschew hyperbole and hang in for the long haul, maintaining a discipline of understatement in the midst of a flashy neon world, you may be offered a modicum of credence when you make an extraordinary announcement. No one is entitled to this courtesy twice. If the news that you trumpet to the moon does not pan out, your readers will be justified in discounting everything you say thereafter.

Here goes.

I believe major rejuvenation has been achieved in a mammal, using a relatively benign intervention that shows promise of scaling up to humans. I’m going to stake my reputation on it."

I had to stop a look up several words/terms, but this may herald a real breakthrough on reversing the aging process.
It's a long article and the comments at the end by different experts in the field are just as riveting.
