A new study has revealed that young blood can help rejuvenate the skin. After all, it’s not just a myth of vampire stories.
In fiction books and movies, the Vampires drink blood to maintain vitality.
It is the blood that keeps them alive; And the search for blood vessels is, in most stories, the great life purpose of these supernatural beings.
Now, a new study proves that, in part, vampires are right. No, unfortunately the blood still does not allow us to reach immortality. However, can help us rejuvenate.
In an article of 2023, ZAP told the, which, although not a vampire, will have taken blood baths of young girls to preserve his youth.
The study in Aging came to give some meaning to the sixteenth century Hungarian countess, showing that, proteins secreted by bone marrow cellstriggered by young bloodas Elizabeth Báthory required, they can rejuvenate aged skin.
On the sidelines of the investigation, led by the Skin Care Company Department of Research and Development Beiersdorf AG in Germany, researchers sought to follow up on animal experiences, in which old rats were rejuvenated when sharing blood circulation with young rats.
As detailed A, an advanced “organ-in-chip” system containing two 3D human organoids was created-one Total thick skin model and a bone marrow modelwhich included stem cells that give rise to blood cells.
They introduced young (under 30 years) and old (old 60) human blood serum in this system to see if the young serum improved signs of aging skin.
Researchers found that when the skin model was exposed to young bone marrow cell serum, there was no improvement in aging markers.
Only when the skin model was co-cultivated with bone marrow and then exposed to young blood is that scientists observed increased cell proliferation, reduction of biological age and improvement of mitochondrial function (energy producer) in bone marrow cells.
Young Blood triggered changes in bone marrow cells, leading them to segregate rejuvenation factors.
In addition, these altered cells originated proteins that have shown to reverse signs of aging in skin models.
As New Atlas summarizes, the benefits included More cell division, greater collagen production, better mitochondrial health and greater ability to convert to fat -like cells, which is a sign of regenerative flexibility.
It is important to stress that these results were obtained in laboratory -grown tissue models. Still, the study points to a promising class of potential rejuvenating ingredients, through the young bone marrow. Now all that remains is to test in real bodies.
