What he did was to take these adult cells and grew them under “starvation conditions” (3). This entails depriving the cells of various forms of “nutrients” such as carbon for instance. This causes the cells to de-differentiate and enter what is called the g0 state, essentially turning them back into unspecific, embryonic cells.

Wow, that is super interesting. This has huge implications for regeneration and anti aging. Yet another reason to try intermittent fasting.
