Epigenetic reprogramming is very dangerous, but also very, very promising. If we can do this right, all kinds of regenerative medicine become possible: blind people seeing again, crippled people walking again, people with heart failures running again etc.<p>Altos Labs (recently co-financed by Bezos to the tune of some 3 billion dollars) has several scientists specializing in reprogramming, including a Spanish scientist who was able to reprogram living mice without causing any tumors.
More info about the mentioned research is available from the Babraham Institute at Cambridge:<p><a href="https://www.babraham.ac.uk/news/2022/04/new-technique-rewinds-age-skin-cells-30-years" rel="nofollow">https://www.babraham.ac.uk/news/2022/04/new-technique-rewind...</a>
I've seen other stories where they e overcome the tumour generation from this technique (in mice).<p>It sounds like this kind of technique is almost ready for use in surgery to minimize scarring.
