难以置信！原来这样就能重返年轻【健谈英语】

【头条播报】
Researchers at UC Berkeley said age-reversing effects can be achieved by simply diluting the blood plasma. The team found that replacing half of the blood plasma of old mice with a mixture of saline and albumin can rejuvenate tissues. To confirm their findings, researchers used a similar FDA-approved procedure on four individuals aged between 65 and 70. The result showed elevating levels of some proteins, which broadly coordinated tissue maintenance and promoted immune responses.
