Creator description · original language
Discover one of the most fascinating discoveries in modern aging science: the hidden role of cellular senescence, often referred to as the accumulation of "zombie cells."
In this video, we explore how certain cells stop dividing but remain active inside the body, releasing inflammatory signals that may contribute to aging, chronic disease, and even cancer progression. While these cells can protect us from cancer early in life, their accumulation over time may become harmful.
You'll learn:
What senescent cells are
Why scientists call them "zombie cells"
How they influence aging and health
The emerging science of senolytics and senomorphics
Why eliminating these cells isn't as simple as it sounds
Based on cutting-edge scientific research, this video explains a complex biological process in a clear and engaging way, helping you understand one of the most promising frontiers in longevity science.
Could the future of medicine involve targeting the biology of aging itself?
