What are your views on the trial that reversed epigenetic age in optic nerves, allowing them to regenerate? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2975-4

I think epigenetic age _does_ make sense for very specific systems. For example, just focused on the optic nerve. Good luck getting an optic nerve sample in a live human though!
I believe human trials are due to start on this soon if they didn't already. I will try to find the papers. In the mean time here [1] are the human cells.
