    I found it interesting that transforming blood directly to neural stem cells dramatically slowed rejuvenation. I wonder if you could transform blood into itself? Is something like that even possible? If you could, then maybe it would still kick-start the rejuvenation process. Maybe if you could do that generically for all cell types in a living body, you could very slowly rejuvenate the entire body. Of course, the rejuvenation process may necessarily require a stem-cell stage.

    I think this is the original paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acel.70751

    This is the most interesting thing I have read lately.. Ones own old blood -> neutral stem cells aka already modified neural stem cell -> converts old brains to younger ones by mere contact

    It means a cure all for all brain diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson.. And other organs too like heart or kidneys..

    Just WOW.. This is a massive thing.. Kudos to the scientists that have achieved this. Be faster in executing and make it into a treatment before the world copies and you are left behind.
