Japanese Researchers Created a Vaccine for Zombie Cells

The vaccine was developed by a team of scientists led by Toru Minamino, a professor at Tokyo’s Juntendo University. They identified a protein found in the zombie cells of humans and mice, and created a peptide vaccine based on an amino acid that comprises that protein. The vaccine makes the body create antibodies that attach to zombie cells. The cells are then removed by white blood cells that adhere to the antibodies, purging the body of the toxic cells. When tested in mice, the vaccine slowed the aging progression relative to unvaccinated mice.
