Unveiling the Connection: Menopausal Hormone Changes and Age-Related Memory Decline
Researchers at Duke Health have discovered that surgically joining the circulatory systems of young and old mice, known as heterochronic parabiosis, can slow cellular aging and extend the lifespan of older mice by up to 10%. The longer the mice shared circulation, the more enduring the anti-aging effects. The study suggests that young blood's components could potentially be isolated as therapies to rejuvenate the body and add years to an older individual's life. However, the study was conducted on mice, and the specific factors in young blood that drive the anti-aging effects are still unknown.
