Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who do not. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.” ~José N. Harris

Partial reprogramming involves exposing cells to the Yamanaka factors capable of turning somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells, but not for so long as to result in that transformation. The initial stage of reprogramming, prior to transformation into stem cells, in which epigenetic marks are reset to a youthful configuration, is the desirable outcome. This results in rejuvenation of cell function, as protein production and the operation of cellular processes return to that of youth. This cannot repair <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA…
