Futurepundit: Old immune cells missing big DNA pieces.

Imagine getting your white blood cells replaced as you age with youthful cells grown up from the least damaged cells in your body. Get a youthful immune system to replace your aging cells. The benefits would be many fold. Your risk of death from pneumonia and flu would go down of course. But also, the immune system kills cancer cells and as it ages it becomes less able to do so. Therefore a rejuvenated immune system would lower your risk of cancer. It might even be possible to enhance your immune system to make immune cells far more effective against cancer.

...prolong treatments: they're coming.
