      The article focuses on commercialization of young blood by universities and pharmaceutical companies and effective way for blood to stop inevitable declines of ageing. Topics discussed include damaging of livers and muscles of old mice before connecting each one up to an undamaged mouse, red blood cells are used for medical transfusions but plasma is rich in all sorts of proteins and comparison of anti-ageing effects of cord blood with young plasma and placebo on markers of frailty in ageing.
