Creator description · original textText language: English
A new study published in the journal PNAS has called into question the safety of one of the most popular anti-aging therapies—the combination of dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q).
Scientists have discovered that senolytic therapy, designed to remove senescent cells, can cause changes in the brain reminiscent of those seen in multiple sclerosis.
What are senolytics?
Why is removing "senescent" cells considered a promising area of longevity medicine?
And why has interfering with the mechanisms of aging proven much more difficult than expected?
In this video, we explore:
- How senolytics work
- What the researchers discovered
- Why myelin was damaged
- What happened to oligodendrocytes
- How dangerous is this for people
- And is it worth experimenting with such regimens after 50?
