Wasn't one of the main issues that when doing any age reversal you add massive cancer risks?

  From the article: "This breakthrough, which earned a Nobel Prize, prompted scientists to question if cellular aging could be reversed without pushing cells to become too young and potentially cancerous."

    It may have already been solved with _partial_ epigenetic reprogramming with Yamanaka or related factors, where _partial_ means not pushing cells all the way back to embryonic/cancerous state and maintaining their differentiation.

    The main risk I heard about is tissues with rapid cell turnover, but some startups are working on it.
