Scientists unlock the secret to looking 30 years younger – and it’s skin deep
Scientists at the Babraham Institute, a life sciences research institute in Cambridge, showed that the rejuvenated cells behaved more like youthful cells and helped to close wounds more quickly.
The team adapted a Nobel Prize-winning technique, which allows skin cells to be reprogrammed back to blank-slate stem cells, using a special soup of proteins present at the early stages of embryonic development.
“Amniosa”. Soap with special added proteins.
At first, amniotic fluid is mainly water with electrolytes, but by about the 12-14th week the liquid also contains proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea, all of which aid in the growth of the fetus.
Mix some of that up in a vat, add wood ash and animal fat, we’re away. Fake the mixture even. £99 a 100 gramme bar I’d say.
Hell, there’s even the chance that it would work.
The only downside here is that, pretty much by definition, we can’t say it’s harvested from virgins…..
At first I thought you had mixed up soup and soap. Then I realised you were being serious. Well sort of.
A no brainer. Any woman would pay £99/100g to bathe in goatshit on those terms. One of our lot’s just paid 50€ for “skin reviving gel” has 2 cents worth of gold leaf flakes floating around in it. Box it came in probably the most valuable part of her purchase.
Sigh.
This was all covered in the film Countess Dracula with the wonderful Ingrid Pitt.
Presumably you flog it to the Justin Trudeau’s of this world by claiming the ingredients were harvested from the wombs of trans-men. Double the size of your market.
“Hell, there’s even the chance that it would work.”
Yeeesss….. Only too well, probably…
Would have to look into the original article to figure out what they aren’t telling us, but mucking with the “age” of cells has a high frequency of them developing into neoplasms. “Cancer” to the laymen…
Then again… plenty of examples of peeps ( not just women…) ruining their bodies and shortening their lives for the sake of “Beauty” and “Youth”…..
There may actually be a market.
“ruining their bodies and shortening their lives for the sake of “Beauty” and “Youth”…..”
The tragic loss of those years that contain cats & golf.
Can’t be right. No asses’ milk.
BECOME YEARS YOUNGER WITH THIS ONE NEAT TRICK!!!! (CARE HOMES HATE IT!)
. . . which allows skin cells to be reprogrammed back to blank-slate stem cells, using a special soup of proteins . . .
Hmmm, I think I’d want the liability insurance to cover the prospect of customers turning into a soup of proteins.
we can’t say it’s harvested from virgins…..
Unless you have a large supply of Marys
If *I* wanted to look thirty years younger I should want some hair restorer as well as skin cream and most women my age would need hair dye.
Mind you, I doubt that many 38-year-olds would *really* want to look 30 years younger and get sent back to Primary School.
