"Unlocking the Potential: Epigenetic Reprogramming and Aging Reversal"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Longevity.Technology
A recent review proposes the Information Theory of Aging (ITOA) to explore whether epigenetic reprogramming can restore youthful epigenetic information and reverse aging. The theory suggests that disturbances in the epigenome play a crucial role in aging and that epigenetic noise can accelerate the process. Studies have shown that aging is not only driven epigenetically but also reversible, and the review discusses the potential of epigenetic reprogramming to reverse age-related information loss. The ITOA makes predictions that in vivo epigenetic reprogramming might be able to reverse aging hallmarks, but further studies are needed to develop more accurate approaches to rejuvenate the epigenome and restore youthful tissue functions.
