Sounds like cells lose clarity on the type of cells they are with age?

Any other interpretations?

Sorry I missed this!

I believe this has something the scientific community has hypothesized for a while. However, studies like these should be taken with a grain of salt, since the results need to be replicated in larger mammals and in humans before any major claims can be made. As mentioned in the reading, studies in nonhuman primates are currently underway.
