Can we reverse the ageing process by putting young blood into older people?

8/18/2015

This article from The Guardian explores the concept of reversing the aging process through a controversial method known as parabiosis. The article discusses a study conducted on mice in which the circulatory systems of young and old mice were connected, resulting in rejuvenating effects on the older mice. It also examines the potential implications and ethical concerns associated with this research, as well as the search for specific factors in young blood that may contribute to this rejuvenating effect. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for further research to fully understand the potential of these findings and their applicability to humans.
