A white blood cell in our bodies could give extended youth

The 'fountain of youth' is not locked away in a sorcerer's stone or mythical water source, according to new research. In fact, scientists in the US say the key to slowing ageing is hiding in our bodies.

Published in Nature Aging, the new research reveals that the trick to antiageing lies within the white blood cells, known as T cells. The scientists behind the research discovered that they can reprogramme these cells to turn them into ageing-cell killing machines, called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells.
