Old Stems Cells Young Again — Via Vampirism 109
pdragon04 writes to tell us that in recent tests a Howard Hughes Medical Institute team has found that through exposure to "young" blood cells, bone marrow stem cells start to act young again as well. "The researchers have not yet isolated the blood-borne factors that can switch old stem cells back to a more youthful state, but their results are consistent with other recent studies that show stem-cell aging may be reversible. Together those results suggest that it might one day be possible to boost the practical lifespan of stem cells, and thereby increase the body’s resistance to disease and age-related degeneration."

Are you sure you want to be that young? I'll stick to eating 18-year-old blond women.
If this line of reasoning continues it's only going to get creepier.

no offense but I'm going to try exactly the opposite: eat outrageously, slack, and get teenage virgins to suck the life force out of me.
