How "Zombie Cells" Secretly Age Your Body (And What SASP Does)?

What are "zombie cells," and how do they accelerate biological aging? In this video, Dr. Ferehan Siraj Nuru breaks down the real science of cellular senescence, SASP, and senolytics. ​As we age, billions of cells reach a point where they stop dividing but refuse to undergo normal cellular clearance (apoptosis). Known as "zombie cells," these senescent cells secrete a toxic cocktail of inflammatory molecules called the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP). Learn how SASP spreads inflammation to neighboring healthy cells—acting like "cellular second-hand smoke"—and drives tissue degradation across joints, arteries, the brain, and metabolic systems. ​Medical Disclaimer: This video is for general educational purposes only and is not a substitute for personalized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
