I can't believe there is little discussion of this here, and would like to hear what everyone thinks about it.
The traditional science involved is intriguing, and mostly involves the work of Michael Levin's lab, using ion channels as an access point for regeneration. Here's a good summary of that work, along with everything else going on at that lab:

But the practical science begs many larger questions about biology, that I would also like to discuss here. Here are some questions that could be posed.
1. What is the nature of the fields/gradients that hierarchically organize these ion channels and voltage potentials?
2. Are these fields agnostic to the underlying mechanisms? In other words, does it need specifically ion channels, or
can it utilize many different types of reactions that create useful gradients?
3. What types of interventions could potentially target fields at an upstream level in an anti-aging context?
Biology/anti-aging really needs something like this because it's currently stuck with lots of reductionist paradoxes, endless molecular "targets", and constantly changing, ineffective stacks (I hate that term) that Bill Gates would have trouble funding. Physics learned the lessons of good theory early because a lot of it's subject matter is inaccessible. And you can see the difference. We are on the verge of quantum computing in one field, and still trying to improve grandma's "healthspan" by a couple years in the other.
Lets do this!
