Young Blood Reverses Signs of Aging in Old Mice

Quote:
In the experiment, Wagers and team surgically connected the
circulatory systems of two mice, allowing older animals to be exposed
to blood--and all the molecules and cells it carries-- from young
animals. They found that the procedure made the blood-forming stem
cells in older animals act young again; the overall number of these
cells decreased, and the cells generated different varieties of blood
cells in more appropriate ratios. "In aged animals, many of the
changes we see normally that are associated with age were reversed,"
said Wagers.

Looks like drinking the blood of young virgins is coming back in fashion.
