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 ...
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 ...
A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) on March 29, 2025, as the cover of Volume 17, Issue 3, titled "Differential senolytic inhibition of normal versus Aβ-associated cholinesterases: ...
Senescent cells are a hallmark of aging. They have also been implicated in a broad spectrum of age-related diseases and conditions including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s ...
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 ...
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), ...
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 ...
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 ...
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers and colleagues at the University of Minnesota showed that COVID-19 exacerbates the damaging impact of senescent cells in the body. In preclinical studies, ...
