Re:Critical step found in DNA repair, cellular aging (2017) by reubenswartz on Monday December 31, 2018 @04:28AM (#18793802)
The real challenge is that you need young mitochondrial DNA, too, and that suffers more damage and has less sophisticated repair mechanisms than nuclear DNA. (This seems to be the reason that cloned animals suffer age-related issues so quickly— their mitochondria are “old”.)
