Study Protocol
Plasma Facts
BEGINNINGS
Plasma was first used in the 1920's as a life-saving medicine following World War I
TODAY
Today, over 10,000 units of FFP are used every day in the United States. Because of these high volumes, FFP's safety is well-documented
yFFP Revolution
In the 1950s a young mouse and an older mouse were sutured together in what's called "Parabiosis". The older mouse improved in both cognitive and physical measurements
Plasma from "young" donors
Plasma from "Young" Donors is best defined as FFP collected from a donor between the ages 18-25
