The present invention relates to a method for restoring cell cycle and proliferative competence in resting cells and/or stimulating proliferation of cells, wherein said method comprises the step of contacting the cells with calcium hydroxyapatite particles having a mean particle diameter of from 1 to 500 μm, as determined by light scattering. Furthermore, the present invention refers to such calcium hydroxyapatite particles for use in a method for treating or preventing a pathologic condition associated with arrested cell cycle, decreased proliferative competence, decreased proliferation rate, or a combination of two or more thereof, and the use thereof as anti-aging agent.
