IMYu

Brief Description

Rejuvenation therapy based on a modified version of an already FDA-approved plasma exchange technique known as plasmapheresis, in which a machine separates the plasma (the liquid part of the blood) from the blood cells and then returns the blood to the person receiving treatment. The company's approach, called next gen-apheresis, promises to spur the rejuvenation of organs and tissues as people age.
