The natural question from this is to ask if there's a way to create conditions where organs "become young" again. Of course, people have been trying to figure out aging for a long time, but this is encouraging that solving aging might be possible.

"according to a study1. The findings, posted on the preprint server bioRxiv and not yet peer reviewed"

So, meaningless at this time.
