BioTime is the company that Paul Segal and others started to commercialize various synthetic blood products for the surgical marketplace. The BioTime staff are doing various experiments to determine exactly what these changes are in the hypothalamus that cause us to grow old. At the time, I kind of poopooed their theory of aging because it seemed "too simple" to me (I think Aubry de Grey's theory to be much more likely). The fact that you bring this us makes me reconsider it.
