Cellular senescence

Scientists have not just found a new way that aging cells drive inflammation, but have also blocked it from happening with an existing FDA-approved drug. This opens the door to an entirely new way to shield the body from age-related health decline.

Researchers have discovered that the accumulation of aged and failing cells in one diseased organ can cause the failure of multiple healthy organs. The findings have opened the door to preventing multi-organ – or even age-related – disease.
