Unfortunateluy it involves a chemial bath that apparently removes the RNA component of the DNA This turns it eventually into a dormant stem cell but because it can also damage the DNA chromosomes then it can induce cancer. This was the basic process used to clone Dolly the Sheep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_(sheep)
It works in the petri dish but has not been re-implanted in a human yet.

I'm afraid we need to understand the nature of ageing and diabetes before it offers the likes of me a few more years. At least with phlogiston it turned out to be something useful (oxygen)
Growing tissue from cells is the same as growing meat in a laboratory. I would not want to eat the latter, and skin cells replace themselves anyway, so unless they do find a real life saving use for them I remain sceptical at best.
I think Im getting old that I find modern world devolving too fast and we don't yet know the real long term effects...need I quote seed oils and gm wheat?
