Researchers in Britain have successfully treated an organ called the thymus in mice, ostensibly turning back the clock and renewing it with fresh, youthful cells.
As we get older, as do our cells. They divide, split, and become increasingly unreliable, making it harder to accomplish rudimentary tasks, like repairing wear and tear to the body. It's why regenerative medicine--which promotes healing by dialing back your biological clock--is one of today's more exciting arms of research.
