Abstract

Blood is best known for its critical roles such as oxygen distribution, nutrient transport, hemostasis, and immune surveillance. However, its impact on biological aging remains unknown. Accumulating evidence indicates that interventions targeting the vascular system may decelerate or even reverse the aging process, such as heterochronic parabiosis (HPB), therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, extracellular vesicles (EVs) transfusion, and platelet factor transfusion.

Research summary

The paper discusses various blood therapies that may influence biological aging. The relevance stems from its focus on interventions that target the aging process rather than merely addressing age-related diseases.
