Solving Aging: The Promise of Plasmapheresis | SFM E28

Solutions From The Multiverse

So... what if we could slow down or even partially reverse aging? The stuff of science fiction? Well not much longer.
Researchers at UC Berkeley have discovered that perhaps a medically-common technique called plasmapheresis (the same process as simple plasma donation) might already be rejuvenating people. While more dedicated research is needed, Braus proposes (and Scot disposes) of this promising solution to aging. Tune in to learn more.

At least one company, Lyfspn, is beginning human trials of plasmapheresis longevity treatments.
