People spend billions of dollars on creams and pills trying to look younger. Scientists tried for many years to slow down the ageing process. Now, they have found a new technique to turn back the ageing clock in cells by 30 years. Their work is still at an early stage. It could help people look younger in the future.
The new technique could change medicine. A researcher was excited because it could help to treat skin problems, like burns and acne. It could also heal cuts more quickly. It could be quicker to heal wounds. The scientists' work might help to reverse the ageing process. This could make us look younger.
