Senolytics—a class of drugs that reduce chronic inflammation and tissue damage in aging cells—are shown to eliminate 30% to 70% of "zombie" cells in the body. These zombie cells, known as senescent ...

Cellular senescence refers to a state of irreversible arrest of cell proliferation. It was first described by Hayflick and colleagues in the 1960s when they observed cessation of cell proliferation ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Our body has evolved to harbour senescent cells for a number of reasons – they’re involved in everything from childbirth to wound ...

A new pilot study known as STAMINA (Senolytics To Alleviate Mobility Issues and Neurological Impairments in Aging), that focused on the effects of senolytic medications, Dasatinib and Quercetin (DQ), ...

Longevity research always reminds me of the parable of blind men and an elephant. A group of blind men, who’ve never seen an elephant before, each touches a different part of the elephant’s body to ...

In the back of the telomere lab cell-culture room, in the oldest incubator, I had a pet dish of senescent cells for years. I was never able to teach them any tricks (well, they would stain blue for ...

“This work provides new opportunities for the development of the next generation of ChE inhibitors that specifically target AChE and BChE associated with AD pathology.” “This work provides new ...

Mayo Clinic researchers say senolytic drugs can boost a key protein in the body that protects older people against aspects of aging and a range of diseases. Their findings, which are published in ...

“This study represents one of the first to evaluate the impact of senolytic agents D+Q on the clinical development of pelvic organ prolapse and expression of proteins associated with cellular ...

A novel study has shown that Senolytics, a new class of drugs, have the potential to prevent the transfer of senescence, a key mechanism of aging, and the associated physical and cognitive impairments ...

In a sterile laboratory, researchers examine petri dishes containing what could be the key to extending human lifespan. These aren’t experimental stem cells or gene therapies, but rather compounds ...

Despite all the research happening around understanding Alzheimer’s disease in the past few decades, the reality is that scientists still don’t have great answers for struggling patients. This has led ...
