People have become a little closer to longevity - rats break records for life expectancy after organ rejuvenation (3 photos)
There is such a cute laboratory rat Sim. AND it is notable not only for the fact that it was able to survive in hellish conditions laboratory, but also by the fact that she is the champion among her species in terms of life expectancy. Tailed for 47 months, and her secret is simple - she was injected with concentrated plasma of relatives.
Moreover, Sima has no health problems at all. A any kind of plasma can be injected into it - it is noted that the biological clock "seems to start up again." Blood plasma taken from young donor, has a good effect on the liver, heart, hypothalamus and blood, and aging tissues seem to start working in the same mode.
laboratory rats
It is noteworthy that plasma can be taken even from pigs, even from cows, even in sheep, even in people, At the same time, there should be so much plasma the same as how much the recipient actually has in the body. And before: how to pour precious fluid into the body, it is purified from platelets and concentrated.
In general, the study was carried out on 16 rodents, half of them who were injected with concentrated plasma, and the other half - with saline. IN As a result, the former lived up to 47 months, while those who received dummy, lived to a maximum of 38.
old rat
Sima is almost four years old, and she is really record holder. No one will kill her, and it seems that she already I wonder how long she will last. The authors of the study say that it is aimed primarily at a comfortable old age of a person - to save older people from pain and rejuvenate their bodies so that instead of endless doctors old people could do what they really want.
However, this has not yet been tested on living people, but are planning. And if successful, safe rejuvenation, they note, can become available in the coming decades.
