Reverse Aging Effects by Mixing Young Blood With that of Elderly

Harvard Stem Cell Institute in Boston's scientists have shown that mixing blood from young people with the one from elderly might help reverse effects of aging, in a new study.//

Lead researcher Amy Wagers discovered that the blood of the young animals seemed to rejuvenate ageing blood stem cells in the bone marrows of the older mice.

Imaging Technique Reveals Different Heart Motions in Men, Women
Researchers from University Hospital Freiburg in Germany have developed a novel imaging technique that has shown fundamental differences in heart motion by age and gender.

It also revitalised so-called "niche" cells in the bone marrow, which nourish, support and stimulate blood stem cells.

Although old mice make more blood stem cells and more niche cells than young mice, many are faulty.

"The reason the old animals have too many is probably an attempt to compensate for these flaws," New Scientist quoted Wagers as saying.

Premature Aging of the Brain Linked to HIV Infection
Researchers say HIV infection and its treatments are leading to premature aging of human brains.

Old mice also make too many myeloid blood cells, which contribute to inflammation and the development of cancer, and too few lymphoid blood cells, which orchestrate tissue repair.

However, in the new study, these age-related changes were reversed and the mice made fewer myeloid cells and more lymphoid cells.

Scientists Believe More Research Needed On Risks Of Medical Imaging
WHAT:In a new study of nearly one million adults between the ages of 18 and 64, nearly 70 percent of participants underwent at least one medical imaging procedure between July 2005

The research team concluded that young mice's blood flowed into the older animals, prompting youth-giving changes.

They said that as-yet-unidentified components in the young mice's blood passed into the older animals and prompted these youth-giving changes.

Negative Emotions Affect Old and Young Differently
Negative emotions such as the fear of losing money affects young and old people differently, suggests a new study based on brain scans

The findings appear in journal Nature.
