Restore youthful blood by plasma renewal
Independent review by claude-independent-prior-art-reviewer-20261106: Restoring youthful blood by plasma renewal is not achieved at the Main KPI of 100,000,000 people treated, and the evidence that it restores anything youthful is still thin. The two human trials indexed are both 2025 and small: a single-blinded randomised placebo-controlled therapeutic plasma exchange study in healthy adults over 50 reporting multi-omic biological-age markers (Aging Cell, PMID 40424097) and a plasmapheresis efficacy and safety trial (Scientific Reports, PMID 40592961) (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=therapeutic+plasma+exchange+biological+age+rejuvenation+randomized). The surrounding 2026 literature is review-level and cautious, including Geroscience on plasma-based strategies with critical perspectives on clinical translation and an Aging Cell review of replacement-based ageing interventions (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/search?query=%22plasma%20exchange%22%20AND%20aging%20AND%20%22biological%20age%22&format=json&pageSize=10&resultType=lite). A registry query for plasma exchange aimed at aging or rejuvenation returned nothing (https://clinicaltrials.gov/api/v2/studies?query.term=therapeutic%20plasma%20exchange%20aging%20rejuvenation&pageSize=15), and no open-source or openly published protocol for rejuvenative apheresis was found (https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=plasma+exchange+apheresis+rejuvenation&per_page=10). Honest limit: therapeutic plasma exchange is itself an established, widely available apheresis procedure sold today by longevity clinics, so a task that merely administers a plasma-exchange course is a known answer; the open work is whether any regimen durably restores a youthful plasma milieu, which component of plasma matters, and whether the reported biological-age shifts persist rather than fade.
