Could gene therapy one day reverse aging?

Scientists are developing gene therapies that could repair or reset aging processes at the cellular level — targeting telomeres, switching on repair genes, or reprogramming cells to a younger state. Most of this work is still in early animal studies, but a handful of approaches are moving into human trials.

Where it stands Exciting early science; human applications are still years away for most approaches
