Turnbuckle,
This is an interview with one of the founders of the Gero company.

I have partially translated this interview.
(time interval from: 12:15 to 14:16):
“It has been known for a long time that if you transfer the blood of young animals to old ones, then old animals rejuvenate. You can, for example, sew the circulatory system of a young and an old mouse and find that the old mouse is getting younger, while the young mouse is getting old.
It is quite obvious that there are factors in the blood of old animals - that is, some molecules, cells - that prevent stem cells from participating in regeneration to repair damage.
There are very beautiful experiments in which stem cells from old animals are sent to young ones (they are glow beautifully there ...), but it's cool that young mice with stem cells from old mice go to the treadmill and the next day they get some of their muscles that grew from stem cells from old mice!
That is, old mice cannot gain muscle mass, not because they have some old and damaged, damaged stem cells, but because there IS SOMETHING in old mice, which prohibits their stem cells from participating in regeneration. "
“Actually, Elevian, and our company, and a number of other projects, set themselves the task of finding out what kind of aging factors are in the blood, which, if the blood is diluted with young blood (that is, to reduce the concentration of aging factors), the blood becomes like would be "life-giving" and allows, among other things, to correct a significant amount of damage that has been accumulated by the old mouse.
The difference between us and Elevian is that Elevian is doing therapy based on rejuvenation factors ... while we HAVE FOUND the target, that is, the circulating factor, the very factor of "old age", which we, on the contrary, suppress with the help of therapeutic action, and we give the mouse, and, I hope, in the future to a person, a signal that his real age is different from the passport one and it's time, after all, to start regenerating. "
They took a database of the blood of deceased women (HUMANS, not mice) (time interval from: 14:40 to 15:17) "... and used our machine (artificial intelligence) to find proteins there - the ones that turned out to be the cause of aging and death in humans. We found several proteins, blocked them with an antibody in mice, first in France and then in Singapore. And for the first time in the world, as far as we know, a rejuvenating effect was obtained with one injection. This is the second proof after worms that our machine is not our fevered imagination, but that it works on at least two animals, that is, on worms and mice. "

Turnbuckle, perhaps you have exhausted your resource for reducing epigenetic age by increasing the number of stem cells?
Perhaps you need to take up the next line of therapy: remove proteins that may prevent you from decreasing your age? They can influence other processes in cells.
Not only stem cells can help rejuvenate the body.
Maybe you will become a blood donor and thus dilute the blocking proteins? Or is it possible to do plasmapheresis?
