Can Blood from Young People Slow Aging? Silicon Valley Has Bet Billions It Will
NEWSWEEK ^ | 4/7/2021 | ADAM PIORE

The Spanish firm Grifols helped set off a kerfuffle last year when it, along with other firms, offered nearly double the going price for blood donations for a COVID-19 treatment trial. Brigham Young University in Idaho had to threaten some enterprising students with suspension to keep them from intentionally trying to contract COVID-19. The trial failed, however, and now the Barcelona-based firm is hoping to extract something far more valuable from the plasma of young volunteers: a set of microscopic molecules that could reverse the process of aging itself.

Earlier this year, Grifols closed on a $146 million-deal to buy Alkahest, a company founded by Stanford University neuroscientist Tony Wyss-Coray, who, along with Saul Villeda, revealed in scientific papers published in 2011 and 2014 that the blood from young mice had seemingly miraculous restorative effects on the brains of elderly mice. The discovery adds to a hot area of inquiry called geroscience that focuses on identifying beneficial elements of blood that dissipate as we age and others that accumulate and cause damage. In the last six years, Alkahest has identified more than 8,000 proteins in the blood that show potential promise as therapies. Its efforts and those of Grifols have resulted in at least six phase 2 trials completed or underway to treat a wide range of age-related diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Alkahest and a growing number of other geroscience health startups signal a change in thinking about some of the most intractable diseases facing humankind. Rather than focusing solely on the etiology of individual diseases like heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's and arthritis—or, for that matter, COVID-19—geroscientists are trying to understand how these diseases relate to the single largest risk factor of all: human aging. Their goal is to hack the process of aging itself and, in the process,

Nothing related to vampirism. The latest studies I am aware of show it is something present in old blood that prevents the body from healing and regenerating.

Scam. The foreign company trying to prove this is going to have a difficult time doing so. In humans, as many as 10 to the 11th cells die in each adult each day and are replaced by other cells. Since the max lifespan of a cell is around 120 days, around 4 months, and that is with all the blood cells, any amount under total exchange provided will be on the clock from the previous user. And if that’s the case, then the new cells will be dying off rapidly and the patient will be back on their own blood very rapidly with the first of the donated cells going sooner than those being made.

They are aware of this certainly and are working to isolate the proteins in older blood responsible for degenerative conditions. There will obviously need to be a product for this to be widespread.

I don’t see anything wrong with finding a cure for aging. We are only using the tools god has given us to better ourselves. Those that say we are playing god are in fact playing god themselves by saying we should deliberately stay away from knowledge that would greatly prolong human life. At some point we are going to have to learn to live much longer if the human species is to survive.

Beat me to the punch.
Bathory popped into my mind from just reading the headline.

Hungarian aristocrat, royal blood line, huge land boldings killing peasant women to bath in their blood to achieve immortality....sounds as if she would fit right in with Gates, Soros, Pelosi et al...
