Interesting they did not mention the first human trial of young blood infusion that started at Stanford late last year and should already be completed.
Also since blood transfusions are an established practice, I wonder why the "anti-aging institutes" aren't jumping all over this to offer expensive treatments as is done with testosterone and other therapies lacking sufficient evidence of efficacy and safety.
- imaginenore 12y agoProbably because donating blood for money is illegal in most countries.
- reasonattlm 12y agoBecause transfusions don't have the desired outcome per tests so far. They are not capturing whatever the desired mechanism might be, or factors relevant to the effects are short-lived, or some such. I'm not expecting that trial to do any better based on mouse results to date: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4215333/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4215333/
