A new study suggests that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can be beneficial in eliminating senescent cells through the recruitment and activation of immune cells [1]. The double-edged sword of the SASP One of the characteristics of an aging organism is the accumulation of senescent cells. Various approaches are being developed to remove or neutralize those...

A new publication in iScience has described a novel way in which heart tissue can be encouraged to accept a gene therapy by using ultrasound to create cavitation bubbles. A little-known target and a new delivery vector This paper begins with a discussion of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), a compound that, in excess, is associated with an...

A new study claims that low-frequency ultrasound can reverse aspects of replicative and chemically induced senescence in vitro [1]. Not just chemicals The age-related increase in senescent cell burden is thought to contribute to many processes of aging. Most of the attempts to deal with it involve senolytics: drugs that eliminate senescent cells. However, it...
