Understanding the Difference between Young and Old Cells
As cells age, proteins that were once laid down in the right place to turn the cell genes on at the right time, become scattered all over the cell, causing it to lose its identity and resemblance to other cells in the body.

By understanding the epigenetic clock and how it ticks over time, we have found ways to slow it down and even reverse it, disconnecting biological age from chronological age and allowing cells to regenerate at a faster rate.

Proteins are responsible for cell identity by telling cells it's a liver, brain, or muscle cell.

Summary
Proteins are responsible for cell identity by telling cells it's a liver, brain, or muscle cell. When cells lose their identity, it leads to scattered proteins, causing the cell to behave like other cells in the body.
