The secret to eternal youth may come in the form of stem cell injections, U.S. scientists claimed.

Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh made the discovery after breeding mice with progeria syndrome, which causes rapid aging, and injecting them with stem-cell-like cells derived from young, healthy rodents.

Restoring Growth Hormone levels would likely do the same thing. Unfortunately, the fear of more home runs in professional baseball pretty much squashes any curiosity in that area.

Yes, but it has been known for a couple of generations that the problem with that approach is cancer. It doesn't matter if you're 60 going on 20 if you're riddled with tumors.

Professor receives stem cell technology patent

But Sugaya and his colleagues at the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences discovered that by using only one gene, NANOG, they can generate millions of the type of cell they want without the risk of cancer. With this technology, Sugaya and his team hope to test the capabilities of their manufactured stem cells and hopefully begin to cure numerous diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and strokes.
