Reprogramming: Rejuvenation Nature’s Way

Even if you haven’t come across reprogramming, you are already familiar with its core feature: resetting cellular age to zero. We experience it with every new generation: your body’s cells are direct descendants of your parents’ cells, which were probably a few decades old at conception. Extend that back through the generations and it becomes clear that the cells that make up you go back millions — well, actually billions — of years. There is a continuous line of descent from the very first cells to those forming every part of you. Famines, floods, mass extinctions — your cells survived them all. They are, in this sense, immortal. So why aren’t we immortal?
