Scientists have extended the lives of old mice by connecting their blood vessels to those of young mice, an advance that may lead to new therapies for rejuvenating the body in older individuals.
The process of surgically joining the circulatory systems of a young and old mouse can slow ageing at the cellular level and lengthen the lifespan of the older animal by up to 10 per cent, found researchers, including those from Duke University Medical Center in the US.
