       | Seriously though, I don't know how effective this is. What they
       | did appeared to be flooding the tissue with "young blood" and
       | observe the changes in epigenetics markers. These markers are
       | basically conditional if/else depending on the environment so
       | maybe there is something in the plasma that cause them to change.
       | One thing that would be interesting to test is how fast for the
       | tissues to switch back to the "old" forms once the plasma
       | treatment stops.

       | Interesting research though--it's the first time I've heard of an
       | "epigenetic clock."
