Update: Old vs Young Blood and Extra-Cellular Vesicles Carry Some of The Longevity Magic
Last year we learned that simply diluting old blood in the aged lets them function like younger (animals and humans) (Reference). Still, the search is continuing for youth factors in young blood that might also allow reversing some of aging. A new study has shown that...

Correlating the Onset of the Diseases of Aging with the Increase of Senescent Cell Population – Interesting!
A group of researchers has been building of model of aging, correlating the onset risk of the many diseases of aging (heart disease, cancers, dementias, organ failures, etc.) with with the now known increase of senescent cells as we age. When they tweek the variables...

Here is a very exhaustive review of scientific progress aimed at arresting and reversing aging from our friend Reason at FightAging.org; not yet accomplished, but there are many promising pathways leading forward. A Look Back at 2020: Progress Towards the Treatment of...
Update on Plasma Dilution as a Regenerative Strategy to Mitigate/Reverse Aspects of Aging – A Pivotal Outcome
Diluting blood plasma in old mice (or people) by 50% restores youthful functions in a broad range of systems, in both body and brain!
Adenosine Injections Regrow Knee Cartilage – (In Mice)
Adenosine Injected into Arthritic Joints Produces Cartilage Regrowth; so says the press release regarding a study cited at: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-68302-w. This is a promising outcome; between 50% and 35% regrowth in mice injected with a liposomal...

Strategies for Surviving Covid-19 I take six newsletters on health from Integrative Physicians – doctors who specialize in treating root causes of diseases, not just the treatment of symptoms with drugs, but focus on overall health and prevention of disease. Three of...
Plasma Dilution Removes Pro-Aging Blood Factors – Results in Rejuvenation
For may years, a process of joining the circulatory systems of young and old mice together in a procedure called Parabiosis, could make the young mouse appear to age and the old mouse get younger. The dilemma - is it "young blood" factors that rejuvenate the old mouse...
