A study published in Aging has shown that the removal of senescent cells through senolytics alleviates muscle degeneration in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. A genetic disease with hallmarks of aging Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation that gradually destroys the muscles, eventually becoming fatal as it destroys the diaphragm or...

A team of researchers, including Dr. James Kirkland of Mayo Clinic, has published a review of the ongoing efforts of researchers to clear senescent cells through senolytics. Why we Age: Cellular SenescenceAs your body ages, more of your cells become senescent. Senescent cells do not divide or support the tissues of which they are part;...

New research published in the journal Science has shown that the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, causes senescent cells to secrete more of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), causing hyperinflammation and weakening the body's defenses against viruses. Why we Age: Cellular SenescenceAs your body ages, more of your cells become senescent....

The results of a recent study suggest that fisetin appears to reduce the development of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis [1]. Fisetin is a plant polyphenol and part of the flavonoid group in the flavonol sub-category. The earliest record of isolated fisetin dates back to 1833 from the smoke bush (Rhus cotinus). Its basic chemical characteristics were...
