Miraval developing resort in Texas Hill Country
Scientists reverse signs of ageingScientists at the Salk Institute in La
Jolla, California, have found that inter-
mittent expression of genes normally
associated with an embryonic state
can reverse the hallmarks of old age.
The study appears in the journal Cell. The approach not only prompted
human skin cells in a dish to look and
behave young again, but also resulted
in the rejuvenation of mice with a pre-
mature ageing disease, increasing the
animals’ life spans by 30 per cent.
Scientists cautioned that it will be a
much more complex undertaking to
rejuvenate people than mice.

both on people and the environment.
“[The certification] is a validation that
Davines Group... is doing something great
