"In 2005, Conboy and her colleagues infused old mice with blood from young mice -- a process called parabiosis -- reinvigorating stem cells in the muscle, liver and brain/hippocampus and showing that the chemicals in young blood can actually rejuvenate the chemical environment of aging stem cells."
Wasn't there some horror movie (or story...) about some guy (Dracula?) staying young by taking young people's blood transfusions? Or am I off base?
