General Research What’s the Difference Between Plasma Donation and Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE)? December 31, 2024 / June 13, 2025 by Destiny Vandeput Plasma donation and TPE are completely different procedures with distinct goals and outcomes. Here’s a clear comparison: Plasma Donation: Plasma donation involves removing a small volume of plasma (typically 500–800 ml) from your body. No replacement fluid is given, as your body naturally replenishes this small loss over time. The primary purpose of plasma donation […] Read more donating plasma dr. dobri kiprov plasma therapeutic plasma exchange tpe
Aging Research How Plasma Exchange Could Help Turn Back the Clock on Aging December 18, 2024 / June 14, 2025 by Destiny Vandeput By Dr. Dobri Kiprov Chief Medical Officer A recent study explored how a procedure called therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) could slow down the biological aging process. TPE involves removing a person’s blood plasma and replacing it with a plasma substitute, sometimes combined with immunoglobulins (IVIG). The study showed that this procedure not only helps “reset” […] Read more dr. dobri kiprov IVIG therapeutic plasma exchange tpe
Inflammation Research Unlocking Longevity: How Inhibiting IL-11 Could Extend Healthspan and Lifespan December 17, 2024 / June 13, 2025 by Destiny Vandeput This study investigates the role of IL-11 signaling in aging and its potential as a therapeutic target to extend healthspan and lifespan in mammals. The researchers demonstrate that inhibiting IL-11 signaling improves multiple age-related health markers and extends lifespan in preclinical models. Key Findings: The findings suggest that targeting IL-11 could provide a novel strategy […] Read more
