Everyone becomes old. When you get old, your organs along with your blood becomes old and worn out. What if I told you that there may be a way to stop, and or reverse this cycle?
Researchers found that a young mice's blood can rejuvenate a old mouse's muscle tissue and stimulate brain activity by injecting the old mouse with the young blood. Studies show that an old mouse that was injected with the young mouse's blood had an increase in learning and memory.
"In human patients, such thickening of the heart tissue can cause heart failure, and the condition currently has no treatment options, says Wagers."
These people believe that if a person with young healthy blood gives a patient with heart trouble their blood, The patients heart tissue can thin out over time, making it easier for the heart to function, reducing the chances of having heart problems; including heart failure.
This is huge! This can save thousands and thousands of lives. With more research, maybe humans can easily use this to help extend our lives dramatically. We haven't had enough time yet to fully inspect the safety of this procedure, but so far according to Wagners;
"The Harvard-based studies on heart muscle, skeletal muscle, and brains were all conducted on the same mice, and the longest that the researchers studied the treated mice was 60 days. No ill effects were detected in those time frames."
