Could pig plasma fractions really rejuvenate aging rats? Join me as I interview Nicolás and Nina from the Rejuvenation Science Institute (Brazil), who are working to reproduce the headline-creating “pig plasma rejuvenation” results. We explore the origins, science, controversies, challenges, and hopes surrounding this research—plus their plans for the next breakthrough longevity experiment and open science collaboration.
