We gave old mice.
One group of mice was 16 months old.
Remember, they became infertile at 12.
Gave them NMN.
And I think it was only six weeks later, they had offspring.
they became fertile again, which goes against biology, textbook biology, which is that female mammals run out of eggs.
Turns out that's not true.
You can rejuvenate the female reproductive system and even get them to come out of mouser paws, as we call it.
So that's a whole new paradigm in biology as well.
What I think is really interesting is that what we're learning
from work that you and your colleagues have done and in my lab as well, is that the body has remarkable powers of healing and recovering from illness and injury.
And what we once thought was a one-way street and you just can't repair, you can't get over these diseases, you can reset the system.
And the body can really get rejuvenated in ways that in the future we'll wonder why didn't we work on this earlier?
And thank you for talking to us today.
