On Tuesday, March 29th, the Journal Club will be livestreamed to our Facebook page at 12:00 Eastern. Dr. Oliver Medvedik will be taking a look at a new paper showing that partial cellular reprogramming to reverse cellular aging is possible in normally aged mice. Previous studies demonstrated that the approach was possible in mice engineered...
