Zombies; Senescent cells resisting death, building up, and wreaking havoc on the aging body. In October we published an interview with our friends at Oisín Bio who are working on removal of these zombie cells without collateral damage. Now at Kings College London, thanks to a £125,000 research grant from Heart Research UK, Senolytic drugs and their practical application will be focused on.

Autophagy- The clearing out of old, senescent cells to make room for newer, younger cells. The research group in this paper found that markers of autophagy declined during aging in rats. Could the age-related decline in autophagy be partly to blame for the increased cellular senescence and accumulation of lipofuscin with age?
