Summary:
Researchers at Stanford University have temporarily reversed skin aging on mice by blocking the action of a single protein. The finding may eventually enable older people heal as they did when they were younger. However, Howard Chang, MD, PhD, assistant professor of dermatology and senior author of the study, says the study lead to short-term treatments in older people, but cautions it is not a future fountain of youth. Wired magazine has also published a story on this development.
