Estimation of the cancer risk induced by rejuvenation therapy with young blood and treatment recommendations

Abstract: In recent years the transfer of blood from young to old individuals was shown to bear the potential of rejuvenation of stem cell activity. While this process might increase life expectancy by prolonging functionality of organs, higher cell replication rates bear also the risk of cancer. The extent of this risk is not known.While it is difficult to evaluate this cancer risk in experiments, this is possible with a mathematical model for tissue homeostasis by stem cell replication and associated cancer risk. The … Show more
