Of course it sounds too good to be true, however I read the linked original article, which provides much more detail and - everything they say sounds plausible and coherent and most important is novel, they admit several years away, let’s hope they have discovered a genuine breakthrough. Medicine is very short on discoveries that actually make much difference to human health ie hygiene, vaccines, anti-biotics, anti-virals(more limited) - there has not been one for quite a long time, so the optimist in me says, maybe this is another - stem cell and telomerase based therapies also seem to me to be on the cusp of providing real benefits in dealing with the worst disease of all - aging.
