They recently demonstrated that a neutral blood exchange was able to spur rejuvenation in the brain and reduce inflammation. Additionally they compared this approach with a known senolytic...

There has been a great deal of interest in the last few years in the potential regenerative properties of blood factors. This has led to two broad schools of thought: one in which there are regenerative factors in young blood that can be isolated, and another in which aged blood contains regenerative factors that cannot...

Back in 2005, Drs. Irina and Michael Conboy showed that joining the circulatory systems of young and old mice together in a procedure called parabiosis could rejuvenate aged tissues and reverse some aspects of aging in old mice. Following this discovery, many researchers concluded that there must be something special in young blood that was...

There has been a lot of interest in the idea that young blood transfused into an old person could be a way to regenerate tissues and reverse some of the damage caused by the aging process.  Today a brand new podcast with Doctors Irina and Michael Conboy was brought to our attention, and we could...
