🧬 Why Are Scientists Studying “Zombie Cells”?

🧬 Why Are Scientists Studying “Zombie Cells”? Some cells in your body can stop dividing without actually dying. These are called senescent cells — and researchers are investigating how their accumulation and the signals they release may influence the aging process. In this episode, we explore: • What senescent cells are • Why cellular senescence can be beneficial • What happens when senescent cells accumulate • How SASP can affect the surrounding tissue environment • Why cellular senescence is considered a hallmark of aging • What scientists are discovering about senolytics • Why fisetin is being investigated as a potential senolytic compound • What the current research can — and cannot — tell us about human longevity The science is fascinating, but it’s important to separate promising laboratory and animal research from proven human benefits. So, could targeting senescent cells eventually contribute to healthier aging? 🎙️ Listen to the full episode to explore the science. 👉 Want to go deeper?
