Interview with the authors about the results: https://www.lifespan.io/news/diluting-blood-plasma-rejuvenat... An interesting blog post about the same paper: https://joshmitteldorf.scienceblog.com/2020/06/08/out-with-t...
Seems like the conspiracy theories that the rich and global elite harvest the blood of the young and innocent to rejuvenate them isn't as false as we once thought... /s Sometimes I wish we had a medical system where whoever wanted to be a test patient for whatever reason could sign on the dotted line once advised of the potential downsides (up to and including death assumedly) so we could advance medical science fast…

"This is a somewhat invasive procedure where your whole blood goes through a machine and the cells are returned to you and the plasma is diluted. It is not completely benign, and you cannot just keep doing it every day. So, to know how long the effects last and to know it for each individual is an additional know-how part that we found out from a couple of years of research and are studying further. I’m sure there will be competition, but I just want to warn everybody, do not go somewhere and get your blood replaced with saline. Wait until there are reputable clinical trials and people know a little bit more."
What do you tell a mouse that has cancer or diabetes?
"You need a new agent!"

From interview with the authors, why you should be a bit careful with just going ahead and trying this out "This is a somewhat invasive procedure where your whole blood goes through a machine and the cells are returned to you and the plasma is diluted.

I just did that this morning when I donated blood. They said they needed the plasma badly, so they took the red blood cells and the plasma, and returned a saline solution.
So maybe you just need to donate blood/plasma often to stay young?
Basically, stay hydrated? :)
