Read MoreZombies; 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.
Read MoreA remarkable report was published on July 11, 2018 which some readers may have heard about. There are not many interventions known to improve physical function and extend remaining lifespan when given to mice in old age. However, the consistently positive results reported in this study suggest that, at the very least, using this particular senolytic cocktail intermittently appears to have multiple benefits in old mice, and suggest that senolytics may be worth testing in aging humans.
