  • Remarkable that a single blood factor can have such a big impact on brain inflammation, plasticity, and cognition. Curious if PF4 levels naturally decline with age or if other factors cause the drop?

  • Is exercise enough then?

  • Let's goooooo! Inject some of that into humans and see what happens!!!!

  • "Research led by two teams from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and a team from the University of Queensland, Australia, has identified a blood factor as the common denominator behind rejuvenation of the brain through young blood transfusion, a longevity hormone and exercise."

    Musk, Thiel, and their ilk are going to put us in Bug Jack Barron territory before the end of the decade, aren't they?

  • So like vampires? Do vampires typically drink the blood or transfuse it to their bloodstream through their teeth?
