Anecdotal Evidence Elucidates the Aging Process

Abstract

:Our group at Yuvan Research has conducted several experiments in recent years that have demonstrated the reversibility of aging through the use of a young plasma fraction, following a historical line of research that began with heterochronic parabiosis. However, a one-of-a-kind discovery, in the form of anecdotal evidence, has recently clarified many doubts about the nature of aging and rejuvenation, and the conclusions that can be drawn from this discovery allow us to form a relatively clear picture of the mechanics of the aging and rejuvenation processes.
