When it comes to the rejuvenating effects of “young blood” in geriatric animals, we have reason to be optimistic – but we also have much to learn before we get there.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
That's good to know. What about the new...I find this very interesting, the parabiosis where we can take, we, I mean scientists, can take blood from a young animal and transplant it in an old animal, and essentially reverse some biomarkers of aging in multiple organs.
And the parts aren't part of the body that contribute to the early embryogenesis. So those are a few, and there are many others that shown that the blood...what's in the blood of older and younger animals can influence one another. The older blood makes the younger ones old, and the young blood makes the older animals younger by a variety of biomarkers and disease-related things.
