Creator description · original language
Senescent cells are sometimes referred to as “zombie cells” because they stop dividing but remain active in the body. These cells can release inflammatory signals that affect nearby tissues and may contribute to processes associated with aging.
Researchers are studying compounds called senolytics that may help target senescent cells and support cellular health. Early laboratory studies have explored how reducing senescent cell accumulation may influence tissue function and biological aging markers.
This video explains the science behind senescence, why scientists are studying senolytics, and how cellular aging research is evolving.
