Twitards And Vampire-Wannabes Rejoice! Injecting Old Mice With Young Mouse Blood Has a Rejuvenating - Polidicks

[release][h2]Study Finds That Injecting Old Mice With Young Mouse Blood Has a Rejuvenating Effect[/h2] [url=http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2011-09/study-finds-injecting-old-mice-young-mouse-blood-has-rejuvenation-effect][b]//Source[/b] Popsci[/url] ______________________________ [img]http://www.popsci.com/files/imagecache/article_image_large/articles/labmouse.jpg[/img] [sub]A lab vampire mouse.[/sub] Researchers at Stanford University [url=http://med.stanford.edu/ism/2011/august/aging-brain.html]just published[/url] a study in Nature that may give new hope to those looking to stop the effects of aging on the brain. The study found that when blood from a young mouse was injected into an older mouse, that older mouse enjoyed what could almost be termed a "rejuvenation effect": it began producing more neurons, firing more activity across synapses, and even suffered less inflammation. Interestingly, performing the reverse, in which a young mouse was injected with blood (or, more accurately, plasma, which is the parts of blood without blood cells), resulted in young mice with distinctly elderly attributes--increased inflammation, a reduction in the production of new neurons, that kind of thing. The researchers used plasma because blood cells are actually too large to travel through the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood-brain_barrier]blood-brain barrier[/url] into the brain. But certain chemokines, small proteins secreted by cells, are indeed small enough to pass through, and the team actually isolated several that could be causing this effect. It's a pretty fascinating study, as nobody had ever really believed that the degeneration of the brain [url=http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-11/harvard-creates-mice-grow-younger-which-could-lead-human-anti-aging-treatments]with age[/url] could have been due to blood from elsewhere in the body, rather than merely a natural slowdown in the production of new neurons. The lack of new neurons can cause things like forgetfulness, specifically in spatial memory--forgetting where your car is parked, that kind of thing--so the ability to halt or reverse that process could mean amazing things for older people. It may not make you [url=http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2011-07/man-who-would-stop-time]live longer[/url], but it's still a pretty amazing discovery.[/release] Rather old, but still interesting article. I sure didn't expect that... The applications of this could be vast! Do I hear "Children Blood Farm"? :v:

So that one creepy lady who bathed in the blood of the girls she killed had the right idea all along huh?

Old mice running the world.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;32124942]So that one creepy lady who bathed in the blood of the girls she killed had the right idea all along huh?[/QUOTE] She only died after she was imprisoned think about it (yes this is sarcasm)

[QUOTE=Sh33p;32124963]Old mice running the world.[/QUOTE] Old mice... are the future.

Reminds me of Kim Jong Il who's supposedly fired up virgin blood.

Having a kid might not be that bad idea after all.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;32125116]Having a kid might not be that bad idea after all.[/QUOTE] Never was a bad idea. And if you think it's a good idea to inject your child's blood into your own bloodstream, then you are fucking crazy. (e: what?)

[quote]But certain chemokines, small proteins secreted by cells, are indeed small enough to pass through, and the team actually isolated several that could be causing this effect.[/quote] Woo!

Fuck that picture is cute.

So cheesy

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;32124942]So that one creepy lady who bathed in the blood of the girls she killed had the right idea all along huh?[/QUOTE] Haha yeah! [img]http://www.gothicmars.com/images/countess_bathory.jpg[/img] A true visionary! :v:

No she was fucking crazy too.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;32124942]So that one creepy lady who bathed in the blood of the girls she killed had the right idea all along huh?[/QUOTE] Ah yes, Elizabeth Bathory.

[QUOTE]It may not make you live longer, but it's still a pretty amazing discovery.[/QUOTE] Damn, I was hoping for eternal life by draining the young of their youth.

ITT: People don't understand how Chromosomes and our cells work. Just simply putting "new" blood in something will hardly have an effect on how long you live. In simpler animals such as mice I can understand how new fresh blood could help it but not make it live longer.

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;32125042]Old mice... are the future.[/QUOTE]This will serve as a warning to the electronic old mice.

no country for old mice

Cool, i'll just have someone get some blood taken from me and put it in the freezer for later use - I'LL LIVE FOREVER

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;32128901]Mice aren't "simpler animals". They're smaller and less intelligent, but by no means "simpler".[/QUOTE] Look at a cadaver. Look at a mouse body. I think if you had any amount of study into human anatomy and physiology you would find they are worlds apart in complexity.

Also, I guess the organs the produce blood-shit are the ones that fuck up when we get old.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;32126537]Ah yes, Elizabeth [b]Bath[/b]ory.[/QUOTE] Ah yes I remember a certain thread about that. And this sounds so simple. Just transfering younger blood into the older mice? Was hoping for some big genetic breakthrough.

they're actually the ones experimenting on us fyi

This is what happens when mice are desperate. (Your turn)

[QUOTE=Mr. Sun;32128945]Look at a cadaver. Look at a mouse body.

I remember dissecting a rat. The insides of it sure reminded me of a human. Anyhow, physical appearances doesn't even have anything to do with this study. [QUOTE] In simpler animals such as mice I can understand how new fresh blood could help it but not make it live longer.[/QUOTE] What do you mean by that? How are they simpler? [editline]5th September 2011[/editline] We're talking about blood here, there are not gigantic differences between human and mice blood.

Look at human blood. Look at mouse blood. Look at human blood. Look at mouse blood. I think if you had any amount of study into anatomy and physiology you would find they are worlds apart in complexity. Human blood has aliens inside of it.

Pigs are where the shit's at.
