This is a grid test

Researchers have found that pumping old mice full of young mice blood revives their aging organs and extends their lives. Now, scientists in California are testing the notion in humans.

Other researchers are tailoring genetic therapies to an individual’s biological makeup and more effectively targeting cancer cells. This “personalized medicine’ approach already has added years to the lives of lung cancer patients in clinical trials.

These and other medical break-throughs are forging a path to the treatment, cure and even prevention of diseases and conditions that plague the human body as it ages. In addition, private companies, individuals and research institutes are funding aging and disease research at record levels.
