Cellular Reprogramming

Meaning

Cellular Reprogramming is the process of altering the developmental fate or differentiation state of a mature, specialized cell to another cell type, often reverting it to a more pluripotent or youthful state. In a clinical and longevity context, this refers to the application of techniques, often utilizing specific transcription factors or small molecules, to reset the cellular epigenetic clock. This fundamental biological shift holds the potential to rejuvenate aged tissues and restore functional capacity by replacing senescent cells with newly “reprogrammed,” vigorous cells.
