Dr. Amit Sharma is Group Leader in Senescence Immunology at the Lifespan Research Institute, where his lab recently made a surprising discovery about a little-known immune cell that may be even more effective than natural killer cells at eliminating senescent cells.
In this third segment, Dr. Sharma introduces gamma delta T cells — what they are, how they recognise senescent cells through a completely different mechanism to NK cells, and what his lab found when they tested them against senescent cells in the lab. The results were striking: gamma delta T cells cleared senescent cells faster and more selectively than any other immune cell they tested.
He also shares early mouse data showing that transplanting healthy gamma delta T cells reduced both senescent cell burden and lung fibrosis — with potentially broad implications for fibrotic diseases. And he explains a particularly exciting finding: that expanding gamma delta T cells from older donors in the lab appears to rejuvenate them, which could make autologous therapy a real possibility.
🔬 Topics covered:
🔵 What gamma delta T cells are and how they differ from regular T cells
🔵 How they recognise senescent cells via metabolic stress, a different mechanism to NK cells
🔵 Why this dual recognition makes them harder for senescent cells to evade
🔵 Lab results showing gamma delta T cells outperform NK cells at clearing senescence
🔵 Mouse model data: transplanting gamma delta T cells reduces lung fibrosis
🔵 Can older people's gamma delta T cells be rejuvenated through expansion?
🔵 Off-the-shelf vs autologous therapy feasibility and cost
🔵 Why the path to the clinic may be shorter than for other cell therapies
🔵 NK cells vs gamma delta T cells; which will be used and when?
