Young Blood: Is "Ethical Vampirism...

"Could the elixir of youth be as simple as a protein found in young blood?" https://www.sciencem...renews-old-mice (Young Blood Renews Old Mice)

 

What have you guys researched about ethical parabiosis, young-to-old transfusions and xenotransfusions - usually piglett to human - as a way to deter and even rewind the effects of time?

Do excuse me for the click-bait-ish use of the word "Vampirism", but that is at the root of the technique, as I see it.

See Harold Katcher's (Nugenics) "Elixir" discovery. A couple of years ago Harold was in India by invitation on a visa at Nugenic's lab trying to replace old rat plasma with plasma from young rats to see if it rejuvenated them. It proved more difficult than he expected, and running short on time on his visa, he tried to salvage something from his visit by injecting some "young blood" molecules (possibly just two substances) into his old rats. Much to his surprise, his old rats grew much younger over a period of 30 days. Nugenics has now established a lab in the SF Bay area and is working on getting rejuvenation treatments approved by the FDA. They hired an FDA consultant. They are seeking worldwide patents, and they are planning to do all the animal trials required by the FDA then have human trials. They hope to get on the FDA "fast track" program for critically needed treatments. The treatment requires blood stream injections or IV's and so must be administered by physicians.

This could offer an alternative to young blood transfusions:
