Description

Patrick Treat Paine and co-authors test whether partly resetting cells can undo DNA damage in mice bred to age too fast. Their paper, dated 2023 in its own text, uses mice with a flaw in a gene called ERCC1. Cells that have aged lose their care in copying and repair, while stem cells keep it.

The team boosted the reset process by pairing small drug-like compounds with the classic reset factors. Damage in the mice fell back sharply, repair work in cells rose, and a clock that reads age from chemical marks on DNA was set back. Blocking two growth-signal paths with drugs copied some of the gains, which points to how the reset may heal cells.
