First large-scale atlas of senescent cells could help inform future therapies for age-related diseases
Researchers have compiled the first comprehensive atlas of senescent cells, which stop dividing but remain active and contribute to age-related diseases. This foundational work aims to help scientists develop new therapies by better understanding how these cells accumulate and impact human health.
Why it matters
Understanding cellular senescence is a major breakthrough for longevity research and the treatment of chronic age-related conditions.
