Plasma from Young Pigs Halves Old Rats’ Epigenetic Age. Exosomes seem to function across species. Exosomes taken from pig plasma reduced "epigenetic" age of rats by more than 50%. (www.lifespan.io)

And pig hearts!

Funny anecdote, but I have a pet pig, and his behavior/brain/whatever seems as close to humans as any animal I've been around.

He seems very close to acting like a 3-4 year old toddler. Much more so than any dog or cat, less so than a primate I'm sure.

Anyhow, I love pigs, but I'm down for growing them for hearts.
