Rejuvenating Blood
Mar 27, 2013
The blood of young and old people differs. In an article published recently in the scientific journal Blood, a research group at Lund University in Sweden explain how they have succeeded in rejuvenating the blood of mice by reversing, or re-programming, the stem cells that produce blood. Stem cells form the origin of all the cells in the body and can divide an unlimited number of times... Read More
