From the article: "This breakthrough, which earned a Nobel Prize, prompted scientists to question if cellular aging could be reversed without pushing cells to become too young and potentially cancerous."
It may have already been solved with _partial_ epigenetic reprogramming with Yamanaka or related factors, where _partial_ means not pushing cells all the way back to embryonic/cancerous state and maintaining their differentiation.
The topic gets a lot of attention, this is not the first time sentences such as:
“Until recently, the best we could do was slow aging. New discoveries suggest we can now reverse it,”
and
“This new discovery offers the potential to reverse aging with a single pill, with applications ranging from improving eyesight to effectively treating numerous age-related diseases,”
have appeared.
I wholeheartedly agree that it suggests the potential to lead somewhere.
