Scientists find gene key to giving mice young-looking skin - The Guardian 30th November 2007

Scientists have found a way to reverse the aging process in skin, restoring thinning tissue to a thicker, more youthful state in two weeks. The advance, which works by manipulating a master control gene in cells that changes the level of activity of other genes, has so far been demonstrated only in mice. Researchers say that if it can be translated to people it might help older people recover more quickly from injury or boost organ function during illness.
