The Crucial Role of Vitamin B12 in Cellular Reprogramming and Tissue Regeneration

A study led by researchers at IRB Barcelona has found that vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in cellular reprogramming and tissue regeneration. The research showed that cellular reprogramming in mice requires large amounts of vitamin B12, and supplementation significantly enhanced the efficiency of the process. The study also demonstrated that vitamin B12 supplementation benefited intestinal cells involved in tissue repair, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for patients with ulcerative colitis. Additionally, another study by the same group linked higher levels of vitamin B12 to lower inflammation markers in humans and aged mice, highlighting the potential health benefits of the vitamin.
