Keeping it young

Injection Of Human Umbilical Cord Blood Helps The Aging Brain, Study Shows

A somewhat interesting study reported above. But does the idea of old folks trying to find a source of umbilical cord blood for their brain rejuvenation therapy sound just a little creepy?

(Actually, the study involved human cord blood cells going into rats, and it still seemed to help. Maybe animal cells would help in humans - hopefully without too many animalistic side effects!)

Ah, now, details about that will be released in my forthcoming novel, Dr Moreau's OTHER-Other Island.

They should try rat cord blood in humans. Wouldn't that be a punishment for some lab tech - recovery rat umbilical cord blood.
